Jake and Jouma, Fiction, Crime & mystery
A Wilbur Smith for the 21st Century, this is the third African-set crime thriller by UK author Nick Brownlee, featuring the crime-busting duo Jake and Jouma.
'They call me the Headhunter...you may be familiar with my work.'
It's Christmas and a machete-wielding predator with links to Kenya's most feared crime organisation is handing out severed heads as gifts. As The Headhunter's gruesome spree spreads to Mombasa, Inspector Daniel Jouma finds himself drawn once again into the island's toxic heart.
Meanwhile, when an old friend becomes the killer's latest victim, fishing boat skipper Jake Moore decides it's personal - and sets out to avenge a grieving widow and her children.
Two men. One target. Both set on a collision course with a conspiracy that threatens to turn Kenya into a tribal bloodbath. The stakes could not be higher. But can Jake and Jouma keep their heads - while all about them are losing theirs
