THE DEMON IN ME

Some inheritances are never meant to be opened.When Kwame Asante buries his father, he inherits a mountain of debt, a dying grandmother's warning, and a small black box he was told to leave closed. He opens it anyway.The ring fits perfectly. The voice that follows is patient, kind, and never wrong. Every deal lands. Every enemy falters. And a stranger in a cream suit, who never sweats in the Kumasi heat, offers a contract with one innocent-looking clause: in the fullness of time.But the voice is older than Kwame's family, older than the flood. And his father knew exactly what it wanted. Why did he die guarding the secret? Who is really holding the contract? And what happens when the debt comes due?Some doors can only be shut from the inside. But who put the lock there?
