Refracting from the Akintoye family to their fictional avatars - the Makinde family, the US does not look good on this one group of Nigerians, bonded by blood, but not by theft-niche. Bimbo, the writer-accountant first born, does well to capture her family’s dilemma in a novella, which is wrapped up by a rather extreme ending, as her avatar ends up killing her sister’s avatar right before killing herself. In the real world, Lola, the second Akintoye daughter, is offered off as a sacrificial lamb to ward off the tragedy of deportation - she is forced to marry the ferocious Judge, Justice Cliff, in exchange for her family’s freedom. Lola becomes a bitter messiah to felons, taking advantage of her access to classified information as a Judge’s wife. In the process, she meets and falls in love with the handsome and sought-after Lawyer: Neil Samuel. They fight what seems to be an incessant battle, until luck smiles on them, and their deus ex machina comes into the picture: her name is Madeline Margarita Hay, and she’s the most cunning agent on earth! Justice Cliff is doomed to karma, as Lola and Neil graduate from nursing hope to celebrating the freedom to go public with their love, and in fact, make it official! The author’s first crime novel, She Needn’t Kiss the Knife gives us a dose of what it means to be Nigerian and destined for crime...
