When a passenger on his matatu is brutally attacked and killed by a masked, panga-wielding jua kali welder, Ireri’s instincts push him to report the crime online.

With her lupus symptoms flaring up and a baby on the way, Ireri is torn between protecting his family and feeding the online frenzy.

The Big Chiefs by Meja Mwangi

KShs900.00 KShs790.00
Men would talk, as men do, about love and money and power and politics and, acting learned, they would try to outdo one another with their knowledge and their understanding of the political realities and the absurd policies, that bred hate and poverty and genocides. They would ask themselves and one another questions that were often impossible to understand and even harder to answer. Did bad politics breed poverty or did poverty breed bad politics? Opinions were many and varied. Friends argued and sometimes came to blows over their views.

Carcase for Hounds by Meja Mwangi

KShs900.00 KShs790.00
Meja Mwangi second Mau Mau novel tells the story of an Anvil. The group is under the command of a general called Haraka (Hurry) and the plot revolves around the fight between Haruka's men and British troops led by a Captain Kingsley. 18 The fictional protagonists, Haraka and Kingsley, know each other as Haraka was once chief of a village under Kingsley's jurisdiction. The Captain is under pressure from his superiors, who demand immediate results in the attempts to crush the resistance met with from Haraka and his men. The narrative displays an obvious ambivalence in characterisation, theme and language. The narrator portrays the protagonists as partly human and considerate, partly brutal and repressive, but with a difference. Haraka is endowed with the most negative personal traits. He kills three of his own men. Towards the end of 1954, as a result of the so-called villagization programme, about one million Gikuyu were resettled in 800 new villages surrounded by barbed wire and watch towers. This is an indication of the difficulties Mau Mau had to face to get support and supplies.

Going Down River Road by MEJA MWANGI

,
KShs900.00 KShs790.00
This was quickly followed by Carcase for Hounds (1974), which won the inaugural Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature and was also adapted for the film "Cry Freedom". Since then, Meja has written many novels, most of which are published in the Peak Library: Kill Me Quick (1973), Carcase for Hounds (1974), Going Down River Road (1976), Striving for the Wind (1990) and The Last Plague (2000), which won the 2001 Jomo Kenyatta Prize for Literature. While continuing to write, Meja is still involved in film making. Ben is a man on the move-in bars, nightclubs, in the streets, in the brothels down River Road in Nairobi. It is on one of these occasions that he meets Winni and her son Baby. But Winni runs off with her white boss leaving her little son with Ben, and destroying his trust in women. When Ben meets Ocholla at a construction site, action, humour and more people come into the picture. Mwangi's light-hearted treatment of serious situations makes an unforgettable impact. Rarely has anybody put so much understanding and empathy into character portrayal in a contemporary novel about our time and place. And our time and place is all this novel is all about!
