Scars of a Calabash Misdeed Gregory Obuobi

Scars of a Calabash Misdeed tells the story of Oti-Ansere. It is the climax story of a trilogy. The book grows from the strands of The Split and The Freak to a finishing beginning for Oti-Ansere.

Oti-Ansere returns to Accra from Nigeria, eager to pursue his publishing program. He will not be swayed by distractions plotted to derail his resolve to become a world-famous published author. Meanwhile, he could have a teaching appointment in a secondary school or a post in a publishing company to raise the much-needed income for his project.

Yaw Saffoh and Kojo Amponsah are two rare demons of villains of the Aketegu and Bomso clans. They stalk Oti-Ansere with every step he takes, determined to frustrate his efforts. They undermine his marriage. They sabotage his work with anonymous letters to his employment sources. They scheme to steal poison into his food to kill him so they can obtain access to his chattels.

Oti-Ansere sternly but quietly fights against these villains even as he quietly prays to the soul of his dead father for succor.
