Udenwe - Satans and Shaitans

Obinna Udenwe has a special place in our hearts. The Nigerian writer and activist is a long time contributor to Brittle Paper, with hit stories including “Home Coming,” “Holy Milk,” and “Hiding in the Cupboard.”

So it’s with great pleasure that we introduce to you his latest achievement as a rising literary star. A few months ago, Jacaranda Books published his debut novel titled Satans and Shaitans, a conspiracy crime thriller offering the most intriguing answers to the many strange events that seem to be taking over Nigeria’s political landscape.

In a web of twists and intrigues, the novel links the terrorism of radical Islamists ripping the North to shreds, political exploits in the southern parts of the country, and a secret political society.

With all the election drama currently taking place in Nigeria set against the background of a north being ravaged by religions fundamentalism, reading Obinna Udenwe’s conspiracy crime thriller has been rather interesting.

Obinna is a fresh new voice, and his foray into conspiracy thriller is a much needed contribution to the contemporary African literary scene.

Check out the synopsis of the novel and head on to Amazon to order a copy.
