Daughter of Thunder by Olatubosun Matthew Macaulay

Sunbo, a shrewd, scheming woman of extreme beauty, thought she could throw away her cake and still never miss it. She had placed her day-old baby girl in a basket, dumped the basket beside a gutter in the cold harmattan, and fled the scene. Ten years later, married now to a wealthy and aspiring Governor, all that she needed was a child to end her years of barrenness and save her marriage. When fate brought the mother and daughter (Mary) together again, each ignorant of their blood ties, Sunbo came up with a diabolical plan to salvage her marriage. However, her past romance with notorious men of the underworld caught up with her. This Past threatened blackmail and her Future seemed hopeless. Fixing the Present, seemed to Sunbo the best solution, therefore Mary and the blackmailer may have to be eliminated. No one had reckoned with Mary, not her adoptive parents, not her biological father, not the Voodoo priests and definitely, not even Sunbo. The present exploded into gun fights, treachery, Voodoo, love and vengeance as nemesis caught up with one and then with another. Who was Mary? How was she able to survive the diabolical plans of Sunbo and the Voodoo priests?
