A new book, Auto-Biography of the OBAMA ASSASSIN, though a work of general fiction, deals with the kinds of major forces that were in contention in the US presidential election held last November and carries hints on how President Barack Hussein Obama won a second term.
OBAMA ASSASSIN is an e-book by an African writer and journalist, Yirenkyi Lamptey. It is high-quality entertainment with non-stop action, but also contains a latent layer of philosophical assessment of two neo-forces in today?s western society.
The latent layer sets out the two main forces that were in contention in the last US presidential election ? not capitalism but capitalism gone wrong, and not socialism but programmes for the people. OBAMA ASSASSIN also names the different arena for the showdown between the two forces in ways that dropped hints on the possible outcome of one of the most crucial presidential elections in US history.
The story begins in a Hong Kong slum, Mong Kok, from where an eight-year-old street girl, Lylly, is adopted by the island?s mafia (Triad) boss, Philip Wong, who throws her into wealth thrusting her into the high societies of Europe and North America.
As a martial-arts-practising teenage student in one of Europe?s exclusive high schools, Lylly Wong commits two deadly mistakes.
In Paris, she beats to near death a handsome teenage gigolo who tries to entrap one of her friends, Rosa Goldwater, with a sex tape he threatens to release unless Rosa pays $50,000.
Again, when a celebrated state prosecutor, Tsin Kwan Tai, is set to prosecute Philip Wong in the Court of First Instance, Lylly realises her father is as good as behind bars; especially when Mr. Tsin is holding as witness one of Mr. Wong?s employees, Hermann Jones, who says he bombed a Hong Kong night club under direct orders from his boss. After seducing Mr. Tsin and compelling him to drop the case against her father, Lylly pursues Jones to Las Vegas and kills him in a hotel room.
Unknown to Lylly, a ghostly predator was watching and uses both mistakes to entrap her into becoming an international assassin sent to clandestinely eliminate carefully-selected targets from Madrid through Zurich and New York to Abu Dhabi.
Interpol is worried about these killings, and sends super-intelligent agent, Akosua Frema Jackson, after the killers. Special Assignment agent, Frema, earned international fame by cracking the 30-year-old Los Angeles Schwarzstein Baby Kidnapping, which happened before she was born?
By the time Frema discovers that one assassin is responsible for almost all the deaths, she is moved to the White House, and Lylly is given the high-profile job of eliminating the first black president of the United States of America, Barack Obama. This sets up an inevitable clash between Lylly and Frema.
In this must-read general fiction you will also discover the identities and clandestine lifestyles of the rich and influential Wong Ladies who have clustered around Lylly. You will also find out who are the High Priest, the Humble Servant of the High Priest and Yenom Latipac.
OBAMA ASSASSIN is an intricately-woven plot of love, intrigue, slick entrapment and clandestine use of power. Every word adds exclusive colour to the sophisticated plot, there is high-voltage excitement in sentence after sentence from start to finish, and the denouement will shock you to the marrow.
