Synopsis
Set in a political, often dogmatic and highly polarised Nairobi, a city teeming with the ungainly, this account tells a version of the truth. The story involves a cult, a powerful gang set to institute a new world order, an unscrupulous political class, a twisted policing force, and two unlikely souls, tangled in tragedy.
St. Clair, a high-class courtesan and long-forgotten legacy cult spawn, and Vincent, a failed prodigy working as a debt collector, are doomed to confront their pursuers in their desperate flight against the hounds of fate. Their pursuit of truth and freedom-bordering on insanity-will lead them on a thrilling chase against time into the darkest corners of the city and the depths of the human soul.
About the book
About the book
‘No Saints’ is a visceral narrative that explores themes of morality, mortality, and dogma. Through its compelling story, the book examines vices within Nairobi from the perspectives of a select few characters who touch on many aspects of society, including the political landscape, the educational system, the church and its purpose, policing in a highly volatile urban Nairobi, and the masses. The story centres around St. Clair and Vincent’s experiences in a dark world. The narrative peels back the layers of the occult in the city and reveals how its influence extends across much of the world around it.
The research for this work was conducted between 2011 and 2013, with the book written the following year and copyrighted in 2018. Although the research is nearly a decade old, it remains relevant in this vibrant and highly polarised Nairobi. The story is based on a collection of urban myths, offering readers a raw depiction of characters, events, and ideas. It is a must-read psychological affair.
