The Testator

Desperate to escape the deplorable state of his legal practice, while also avoiding the wrath of some people he hurt really badly, who want him dead, Pius Egbe Esq. accepts what he thought is a simple task of reading the will of one of his billionaire clients, Chief Peter Onu. It would have been that simple, but for the twists that got everything crashing down.

The Testator is a tale of murder, betrayal, and the insatiability of the human greed.

Acclaim for The Testator

This is a riveting tale of betrayal, deceit, seduction, lust, legal drama, revenge, power and money. I felt like I knew all the characters personally and knew all the places where the events took place. I couldn't put down the book once I started reading it. Kanayo O. Kanayo and Tony Ekwoaba have written a brilliant thriller that I hope will be turned into a film soon.

The central theme of this work of fiction is on the niggling social issue of will - whether testate or intestate. What is really constructive in this genre of legal fiction, however, is the creative form in which it is narrated. In what is truly a masterpiece, the authors have weaved an enthralling story around a solemn topic that is as educative as it is entertaining- that too in a most intriguing, captivating and gripping manner. The style and diction are simple enough to elucidate the workings of Nigeria's justice system and, by extension, some aspects of the daily life of the ordinary man on the streets of Nigeria. This work is a collector's item that ought to feature on every family shelf.
