Beskrivelse
In this modern thriller about one of the most brutal tales of revenge ever told, SLMN returns against a backdrop of sex workers, cocaine traffickers, West African magic, and cults. Organized crime has taken hold in West Africa. Two opposing syndicates are locked in a bloody struggle for supremacy that has lasted a decade. The cost is high, the price paid in blood. There are the Onisagbe, or widow makers, whose claim to these streets dates back to the time when the city's first foundation stones were laid. For generations, they've ruled over Freetown. Then there's Awon Woli, a group of Liberians from over the border in Monrovia who have established in the area after fleeing their homeland during the civil unrest. What started out as a deal, an insult for an insult, has turned into a life for a life. One of Awon Woli's lieutenants has kidnapped the Onisagbe kingpin's daughter, and hold her captive, in preparation for sacrifice. The ancient prophecies they follow demand that the girl die before her thirteenth birthday. To get her back, the Oniṣagbe, are going to have to go to war, facing the threat of old gods and new. The only way that's happening is over the corpses of every last Awọn Woli foot soldier.
