Description
"Ngaruwe, a reserved, unapologetic and fiercely independent newspaper vendor is at home in the squalid conditions of a sprawling city slum. His childhood nemesis, Adrian Gachomo, a venal man who never saw a boot he did not want to lick, is a big shot with business interests that bestride the city economy like a colossus. When the two cross swords, neither the blue chip companies in the city nor the shadowy organized criminal gangs can survive the whirlwind that ensues"--Page 4 of cover.
