However, one experience in his past was different than the rest: the bee chase. Read on to share in his journey and uncover how a traumatic sight in Udenka's young life vibrantly comes back to him, even with all else he has overcome in the passing years.
In book two Nwadibia's lucky escape into the African jungle has caused a lot of angst among the villagers, who attributed the failure of his capture to the lack of experience of the newly appointed police chief, Marcus.

The malign existence in the region had to be dealt with as soon as possible. A disgraced Marcus is replaced by new police chief Donatus, who recruits Tobias and Paulina. However, the relationship between the two incredibly talented police officers, is complicated by Paulina's lust for her handsome colleague Tobias and Tobias's demons. Will Tobias and Paulina bring Nwadibia to justice or will justice be served by the villagers?
This is great story about a "doctor-in training" against the background of the Nigerian Civil War. Being a medical student is difficult enough without having one's studies interrupted by war. John Anakwenze provides the reader with a fascinating account of his life in Lagos and thereafter, his "escape" to Eastern Nigeria. He went to the U.K. for postgraduate studies before returning to Nigeria in 1985. His narrative is crammed with stories about the diverse characters who he met, including the myriad girlfriends. He had a great fondness for nightclubs and was also a very talented storyteller. John survived squalor, constantly moving from place to place and finally succeeding as a locum consultant physician in geriatric medicine in the United Kingdom.
