    About this ebook

    A lab worker sees her passion to help find a cure to the deadly coronavirus Covid-19 cut short when she is laid off due to the pandemic ravaging the world and its negative effect on the economy.

    But when someone close to her contracts the disease with approximately eight days to live, she decides to do whatever it takes to save the person’s life, even if it means lying, stealing and going against authority.

    Would she achieve her goal in the end? Or would it all be in vain?

    C. M. Okonkwo

    Hi, I'm C. M. OKONKWOI'm a French speaking Nigerian author who grew up in Lagos and moved to France to study, where I obtained three fantastic degrees. I currently practice HR as a profession, but writing is my passion, which is fuelled by my love for travel and tourism, where I pull experiences and merge them with my limitless imagination.My best genres are action-packed mystery, thriller, detective and suspense, but my writing goal is diversity, so I've also written erotica, romance and literary fiction, and I'm still exploring others like fantasy and sci-fi.My stories/books have won contests and awards from Africa Book Club Short Story Competition to Indie Author Land best #50, to Wattpad, and I have also been a top 5 finalist for Quramo Writers' Prize.I'm an active member of International Thriller Writers and the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA Lagos chapter), and part of my dream is to set up a Crime, Mystery and Suspense Writers' Club in Nigeria. I'm also the founder of Laybels UCL, a company that promotes literature and reading, and also helps people achieve their dream of becoming published authors.Feel free to say hello. I can't wait to read from you!
