Tobin and Blake
by Neel Patel

When Gbaje Agbaje goes missing a few weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic, journalist Ben Blake confronts his own demons while investigating Gbaje's disappearance. A botched cover-up of a pirate raid leads Blake along a trail marked by desperation, greed, and betrayal. Set against the backdrop of Lagos and Johannesburg, The First Sniff of Trouble is a gritty thriller examining the price of ambition in an age of moral collapse. And the perils of mistaking proximity to power for power itself.
