The Mon-Eyed Man (Paperback)

Paperback. Victor has little wealth, no influence and only one possession that cannot be bought: an uncompromising belief in the future.When Fiona, the woman promised to him, is drawn into the glittering world of Oliver - the privileged and dangerously entitled son of Senator Adrian - Victor finds himself humiliated, assaulted and driven from everything familiar. Yet exile does not destroy him. Across eight demanding years in London and Baltimore, hardship transforms the impoverished medical student into a distinguished physician whose greatest struggle is no longer against poverty, but against the corrupting seductions of success.Back in Nigeria, Adrian's political empire flourishes through patronage, fear and carefully concealed betrayal. Oliver's obsession with wealth and control begins to consume him, while Fiona discovers that luxury may become another form of imprisonment. As royal households, political conspirators, journalists, physicians and frightened witnesses are drawn into the gathering crisis, a dynasty built upon silence starts to fracture.When Victor finally returns home, the road that once carried him away brings him face to face with those who betrayed him. He now possesses the power to punish - but vengeance may demand more of his humanity than suffering ever did.The Mon-Eyed Man is a sweeping story of ambition, love, corruption, exile and redemption - a compelling reminder that those we disregard on the road to power may be the very people we encounter on the way down.
