The Event

About the Book

The tale brings about a myriad of characters, each interwoven with the others in a story of suspense, betrayal, lust, love and, at times, humour. Nobel laureate Frederick Ekene is going to be honoured at a gala in the city of Abuja, an event that will herald his climb from disgrace back up into the public eye. The event is slated to be a grand one attended by the important and not-so-important of the city, many of whom plan to attend with other intentions aside celebrating Frederick Ekene.
