In the heart of a nation consumed by hatred and betrayal, Checkpoint: Kigali explodes into a pulse-pounding thriller where every heartbeat is a battle, every decision a matter of life or death. Set against the backdrop of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, this riveting novel unravels a dark conspiracy that was set in motion long before the plane carrying President Habyarimana was shot down. As extremist militias descend upon Kigali, a disparate group of heroes emerges from the chaos—each driven by personal loss, haunted by moral dilemmas, and united by an unwavering quest for truth.

CIA operative Daniel Mercer, disillusioned by years of bureaucratic indifference, risks everything to expose the engineered brutality behind the massacre. Journalistic crusader Nadine Kayitesi hides with a cassette tape that holds irrefutable evidence proving that the genocide was premeditated, while her desperate search for her missing brother fuels her relentless determination. Torn between duty and decency, Hutu police officer Jonas Munyaneza defies his superiors by secretly helping Tutsi civilians escape, knowing that every act of compassion brings him closer to his own undoing. French military attaché Colonel Bernard Lemaire, caught between the demands of his country and the desperate pleas of his forbidden love, must choose between personal safety and loyalty to those he holds dear. And undercover Mossad agent Rachel Rosenfeld, originally tracking a notorious arms dealer, finds her true mission in saving a group of orphaned children—even if it means becoming the ultimate martyr.

Their lives intersect in a crumbling safe house, where the burning city of Kigali sets the stage for a desperate plan: to broadcast the damning truth, rescue the vulnerable, and escape before the night swallows them whole. As each checkpoint becomes a crucible of sacrifice and every mile towards the border is steeped in heartbreak and hope, these survivors face a final, gut-wrenching decision that will determine not only their fates but the soul of a nation.

Checkpoint: Kigali is a searing, unforgettable tale of courage in the face of unimaginable horror—a story where truth is a weapon, compassion a rebellion, and hope burns brighter than the darkest flames.
