Flames at Midday

After fifteen years in London, Creole returns to Ghana eager to reconnect with his roots and find a place in a society he once called home. But what he finds is a nation torn between tradition and modernity, suffocated by political decay, and haunted by broken promises.

Set in the charged atmosphere of 1970s West Africa, Flames at Midday is a gripping novel of self-discovery, cultural awakening, and resistance. Against a backdrop of military regimes, Afrobeat rhythms, and shifting identities, Creole must navigate old flames, new loyalties, and a burning desire to create art that speaks truth to power.

Inspired by the life and spirit of Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti, this is a story of passion, betrayal, and the fight to belong in a world where speaking out can cost you everything.
