Family Secret Uwem Benson

Somewhere in Africa, identical twin brothers succumbed to the manipulation of a resolute mother by accepting to exchange academic certificates and destinies to raise the fortunes of the family. To keep these apparent fortunes, a crime must be committed in the eyes of the law, and the family secret must be kept by all. However, lack of restraint, greed and betrayal creeps in to distort the balance of the agreement. As if not enough, a past once forgotten resurfaces to add to their miseries. Someone must pay the price. Who will be willing to be the sacrificial lamb? Or will the atonement hunt all?
The book is a master piece and suspense filled fiction mirroring a society that believes in the search for survival at all cost.
