In the Niger Delta creeks of Southern Nigeria, nine expatriates are being held hostage by militants fighting for control over the resources from their land. At the same time, a series of seemingly unconnected events rock the country.

Alex Randa, an agent of the Department of State Services, a celebrated hostage negotiator with a compelling record of successes is tasked by the president to secure the release of the hostages; and to also uncover the sponsors behind the militants. With nothing to go on but the phrase ‘Operation Raven’, her instincts, and three unlikely allies, Alex quickly learns that nothing is what it seems. Together, they must race against time to save not just the hostages but a nation on the brink of a bloody Civil War.

Othuke Ominiabohs’ second book, A Conspiracy of Ravens is a deftly woven tale of love and hate, patriots and traitors, and of heros and villains . . . A tour de force.

Othuke Ominiabohs

Othuke Ominiabohs is a writer, poet, dramatist and an entrepreneur and publisher at Masobe Books, Nigeria’s fastest-growing publishing company. He is the author of Odufa (shortlisted for the Wole Soyinka Prize for Literature, the Association of Nigerian Author’s Prize for Prose Fiction, and the Grand Prix of Literary Associations in Cameroun.) He also authored the acclaimed novels A Conspiracy of Ravens and Aviara. In 2024, he was named Brittle Paper’s Literary Person of the Year.

“This is a thriller set on Nigeria's contemporary challenges, against its old demons. It captures our Civil War history in an interesting way while also aligning same with the much more recent upheavals in the Niger Delta. It is of course a work of fiction but it is hard to deny this is as much the reality of yesterday and today's Nigeria. Othuke has gifted us a gem, one that'd entertain and educate but most importantly, make us face the mirror. A super Nigerian thriller.”

—JJ Omojuwa

“Explosion, action and suspense – Ominiabohs has sprung a delightful surprise upon us. In A Conspiracy of Ravens, he positions his characters in significant events in Nigeria and dares to create a canvas on issues and struggles we tiptoe around . . . a thriller that'll leave you immersed in its pages.”

—Sunshine Book Club, Lagos

“I have spent most of my reading life waiting for Robert Ludlum to write our story. He just did. With the pseudo name: Othuke Ominiabohs. Othuke is almost too temerarious and too audacious about his new found calling in this genre. I don't wish him well; I wish us his readers well.”

—Ojay Aito, Author, Night of a Red Moon

“A Conspiracy of Ravens presents a fast paced and insightful look at Nigeria’s political and socioeconomic quagmire from a fictional perspective. By linking the travails of the past with the complexities of the present, Othuke Ominiabohs carefully weaves a tale that leaves you thirsting for more, right from the very first page.”

—The Book Club, Lagos

“In his latest book, Othuke Ominiabohs exerts literary skill to delve into disturbing aspects of Nigeria’s political structure. The story is a “militancy” thriller that subtly draws us into issues of corruption, oil politics and national identity. But A Conspiracy of Ravens is more than just “a good read”. As his characters race against time and tidal politics, we realise that their emotions are a familiar reflection of Nigeria’s internal struggles: A Conspiracy of Ravens is a search for meaning and self-awareness.”

—Ayo Sogunro, Author, The Wonderful Life of Senator Boniface and other Sorry Tales

“A collage of societal realities, skirting around history, flirting with the present while awakening our collective conscience."

—THIS DAY

“Energetic, brilliant, stimulating; Othuke is easily one of Africa’s finest storytellers.”

—Edify Yakusak, Author, After They Left
