Triple Agent, Double Cross — Janvier Chouteu-Chando

When bright-eyed child prodigy Gavin Njike loses his family and pursues a hazy path of vengeance, he never imagined he could end up serving his family's killers.

However, that is the case after he joins the country's intelligence. Things start to go wrong when he finds himself in the dark over operations. But, it takes the death of his dissident cousin to open the floodgates of his memory, forcing him to grapple with the tragedies suffered by his family during the reign of the former president.

Now, there is unrest boiling beneath the surface of Cameroonian society. President Pablo-Nero Essomba, the leader of the country's sole legal political party, is concerned for his regime -- if he were to fall from power, the tide of tribal domination could flow against his people.

The service dispatches Gavin, code-named ‘The Hawk', into the heart of the underground opposition movement to infiltrate it. When the regime and its foreign backers act on Gavin's information behind his back and plan a nationwide operation against the leaders of the mushrooming opposition, he confronts his own ghost by becoming ruthless and deceitful again. But will he survive the deception?
