Mwuaji: Art Edition - Paperback

by T. M. Jefferson (Author)

What happens when love learns to kill?

Jabari Okafor has spent three years trying to bury his past as an elite assassin. He makes pancakes, coaches soccer, and believes that love can overcome the muscle memory of murder. But when his 8-year-old daughter Zuri is kidnapped, Jabari discovers that becoming human again was always an illusion.

To save his family, he must resurrect the killer he used to be-Mwuaji (Swahili for "The Killer").

But in a world where protection requires elimination, what happens to the innocence you're trying to protect? What price are you willing to pay to keep your family safe? And when your children learn that love looks like violence... who becomes the monster?

MWUAJI is Gone Girl meets John Wick with the emotional depth of Room. A brutal, beautiful exploration of family, survival, and what we become when we're pushed beyond our limits.

Trained by the enemy. Haunted by truth. Vengeance is coming.
