Mysterious Affair: if the Pines Could Talk Maximus Clement

Publisher Marketing: The last anyone heard from Susan was a phone call to her sister-in-law, made as the nature reporter was out among the pines reporting for her employer, Core News. A man and woman surprised her in the woods and strangled her, thinking that she followed them to their private love nest. The novel is set in Nigeria, where politics is volatile and journalists are often at the receiving end. There are plenty of questions that need answers in If the Pines Could Talk. When the murdered journalist's body is found in the secluded spot, tire tracks of a Peugeot 406 are seen leading away from the crime scene. All eyes are turned to the governor as the number one suspect, since the 406 is the official car of Nigeria. To redeem his reputation, the governor joins Col Sam, Susan's boss and the CEO of Core News, to look for her killers. But the politician is in for a big surprise... Maximus Clement is the middle child in a family of nine and hails from eastern Nigeria, which is predominantly Igbo. He may have been born with a pen between his fingers, as the first present he received at birth was the book The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale. He grew to love to read and write. The author currently lives in Abuja, Nigeria, and is a civil servant with the government. Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/MaximusClement
