Oke was born into a family of Nigerian holy men & initiated into the juju priesthood. He eventually turned away from the age-old beliefs of his family & community - but not before being forced to witness & participate in the grisly and brutal ritual of human sacrifice known as "The Two-Hundred Cuts". Oke's gripping inside account of ritual murder & other hidden practices touches on a world that many Westerners, and even Africans, would like to believe doesn't exist..." [dustwrapper quotation]
