Bigman Father's Grave

The body of Muzoko Ali, the father of Senator Johnson, is found unearthed and naked near the grave less than twelve hours after it is lay in the ground and the head is also severed from the body. Not too far from the cemetery site is the mud house where lives Ekoyata, an American returnee, who strangely feels satisfied by the deed done to the body. He is waiting to see how the police, armed with guns and Barton, is going to unravel the riddles of the crime.
See how A. N. Okonoboh, deftly interweaving the mixed reactions of the police, the press personnel the bereaved family members and the local folks, shows against all odds, the manner people try to find consolation in bitter prides and justifications.
