"This is a brilliant blending of worlds and traditions--West African lore meets Easy Rawlins--which makes for something absolutely devourable. And that''s exactly what I did. Without a doubt, this is Onyebuchi at his best!" --Jason Reynolds "Blending elements of classic noir fiction (including a Chandleresque narrative voice) and fantastic acts of terroristic martyrdom, Onyebuchi crafts an equally heady and page-turning narrative. This is an unforgettable portrait of a place and a person trapped between two worlds and two cultures." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review "This twisty mystery is perfect for fans of noir authors like Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler who want a new perspective along the lines of P. Djeli Clark and S. A. Chakraborty.
" -- Booklist "Onyebuchi (Goliath) writes a compelling mystery, adds corrupt politics, a feet-on-the-ground exploration of postcolonialism that isn''t all that "post," and a jaundiced discussion of the supposed good old days, all told through the eyes of a Raymond Chandler-style detective.

[He] showcases an impressive range."-- The New York Times Praise for Riot Baby An Alex Award Winner Winner of the New England Book Award A World Fantasy Award Winner An Ignyte Award Winner A Hugo Award Finalist Nebula Award Finalist Locus Award Finalist "Onyebuchi''s voice work is magnificent, sharp and whipping. This book recognizes that intimate knowledge of suffering can be a source of strength, can be sustaining as well as depressing -- that we can grieve the inheritance of generations of ancestors'' pain while marveling at their endurance, and recognize that resilience as part of their legacy."-- The New York Times " Riot Baby bursts at the seams of story with so much fire, passion and power that in the end it turns what we call a narrative into something different altogether."--Marlon James "Onyebuchi has woven a story as uplifting as it is heartbreaking, an epic ode to the future and past, tiny acts of resistance, love, and the wild unstoppable sweep of revolution."--Daniel José Older and the wild unstoppable sweep of revolution."--Daniel José Olderand the wild unstoppable sweep of revolution.
