Book description
Imagine a con artist who outsmarted Henry Kissinger, dazzled Shirley Temple-Black, and ran a scam that spanned continents for decades-while living in luxury protected by ex-SAS soldiers. That's the jaw-dropping reality chronicled in Yepoka Yeebo's Anansi's Gold, and hearing it narrated is pure, unadulterated delight. This isn't just a book; it's a masterclass in storytelling, and the audiobook format makes it feel like you're being let in on the greatest secret of the 20th century.
Yeebo, the Jhalak Prize-winning author, crafts a tale so wild it reads like fiction-but it's all true. Set against the backdrop of Ghana's turbulent post-independence era, we meet John Ackah Blay-Miezah, a man born into poverty who reinvented himself as the "custodian" of a mythical Nkrumah trust fund. His pitch? "Invest a little, claim a fortune." And thousands, from London to Lagos, believed him. Over the 70s and 80s, he hauled in hundreds of millions, baffling diplomats and top officials while living like royalty. The sheer audacity-scamming the West at its own game, right under the noses of Nixon's ex-attorney general-is mind-blowing.
What makes this audiobook shine is how perfectly the narration matches the story's energy. You'll hear the thrill of Blay-Miezah's early hustle, the tension of international investigations, and the sheer, unapologetic charm of a man who turned fraud into an art form. The Cold War intrigue, the African perspective on post-colonial exploitation, and the sheer scale of this scam (it's the "Catch Me If You Can" of global con artistry) unfold with gripping pace. You won't just learn about Blay-Miezah-you'll feel the adrenaline of his world, where every handshake could be a lie and every promise a trap.
Critics are right: this is "fabulously entertaining" (Daily Telegraph) and a perfect listen for anyone who loves a brilliantly executed caper. Yeebo doesn't just tell a story; she reveals how a con artist became a symbol of resistance, turning the tables on those who'd long exploited Africa. The audiobook's smooth, immersive delivery makes you feel like you're alongside Blay-Miezah, dodging investigators and sipping champagne in his London penthouse. It's history with a pulse, a story that's equal parts thrilling, thought-provoking, and utterly unforgettable. Don't just read it-let the narration pull you into the heart of the greatest scam you've never heard of. You'll be hooked from the first whisper of "Anansi's Gold."
