Description
When the woman he loves is killed, Joseph Amaru's peaceful family life is torn apart and a tsunami of rage rises in the former Ugandan child soldier. Fuelled by grief, his need to avenge her death brings to the surface long-forgotten skills. As he wages a personal war to rip apart the two powerful mafia families responsible for his loss, they never suspect the threat is coming from an unassuming African immigrant selling fake designer bags from a pavement in Naples, Italy. But the cost of his actions may be more than the deaths of Clan members; will the boy forced to become a soldier manage to save himself and his soul?
About Barbara Jago

It is with great sadness that we have to report Barbara passed away in December 2025, peacefully at her home in Mallorca. May she Rest in Peace, and all at Book Reality pass on heartfelt condolences to all her family and friends.

Barbara Jago was born in Liverpool, U.K. to the sound of bombs dropping.

Encouraged by her creative mother, she trained as a dancer in the Liverpool Theatre School and danced on stage with Margot Fonteyn at the age of 15, in what Barbara calls, "My five minutes of fame." After appearing in several theatrical productions as a dancer, she decided the stage wasn’t for her and eventually, after marrying, having a son, and battling the usual obstacles that come with life, she became an award-winning screenwriter with over thirty film credits. Her latest book, A Sleeping Lion, began as a screenplay, but the more she researched, the more she felt compelled to write its fullness in book form.

Barbara's first experience writing about Africa was the film, ‘FLAME’ co-written with Ingrid Sinclair, the amazing producer and  director. It portrayed the fight for women’s independence in Zimbabwe and received numerous awards, and special reviews.
