ABOUT THE BOOK

When Kahiu’s house is burgled, little does he know that the incident would lead to a trail of events. With his friend, Opiyo, Kahiu would stop at nothing to see the burglars apprehended and brought to book. The ensuing pursuit exposes both young men to spine-chilling episodes, rib ticking encounters and heart-soothing incidents.

(From Publisher).
