Joe: His Better Life
Joe Wacheera escaped the poverty and exploitation of Nairobi's Kibera slum, to carve out a successful life in London. With his wife Isabel and their three children, they run Anderson Wacheera, a thriving financial and construction enterprise.
But beneath this veneer of success, shadows from Joe's past loom large. Once involved in a dangerous people-smuggling operation on the Libyan coast and now an unwilling MI5 operative, Joe is forced back into the perilous world he thought he’d left behind. Tasked with infiltrating a ruthless Russian military-led smuggling ring, Joe’s mission becomes even more treacherous when Alice Osborne—the British agent he once saved—reappears, bringing both professional and personal temptations that threaten to unravel his idyllic life.
An unprovoked violent, racist attack against Joe’s family introduces them to Kamau Lawrence, a fellow Kenyan. Unwittingly, their own actions force them to face a new and dangerous situation. This battle against prejudice and violence becomes the catalyst for a series of events that will dramatically irrevocably alter the course of Joe and Isabel's lives forever.
In this pulse-pounding thriller, Joe's past collides with his present, forcing him to confront the darkest corners of human existence
