In a city choking on inequality, truth is elusive, love is dangerous--and escape is never simple.

A pregnant aid worker swallows narcotics to escape Somalia--and vanishes into Nairobi's slums. In this Nairobi crime thriller of African noir and psychological thrillers, a disillusioned missionary pastor races the city's underworld to save her and the unborn child she'll protect at any cost. Caught between a ruthless Somali dealer, a corrupt cop, and Ciru--a healer who wields ancient power with modern violence--Duncan must navigate police corruption, postcolonial power, and his own moral collapse.

Set in modern Kenya, this women's survival thriller blends medical thrillers intensity with the moral weight of postcolonial African fiction. From fetid underground safe houses to neon-lit streets where marabou storks circle like omens, the story explores motherhood, faith, and the brutal calculus of survival.
