About this listen
Udo and Nnamdi have a perfect relationship. They are respected and regarded as a Black power couple in the impenetrable London business scene. They are the poster couple for successful Black African immigrants and have been ranked in the top 10 of the most influential Black people in Britain for the fifth year in a row.
In one moment, the unthinkable happens, and Nnamdi is dead. What happened that night and what is the truth about Udo and Nnamdi’s relationship? Everything everyone thought they knew about the perfect couple is shaken to the core.
Udo has to face the truth. Amidst the revelations, pain, and devastation is a journey of rediscovery, transformation, and hope for Udo, their daughter Nnemdi, and everyone in the story.

Story
The day we met in October of 1997, I was working at the District Court in Traverse City, Michigan as a Deputy Clerk. I loved my job. It was extremely satisfying and interesting with constant interaction with all walks of life, including people on either end of the judicial spectrum and many in between. Suddenly, there he was. Tall, handsome, and looking so impressive and important in his Michigan State Police uniform with his hat, gun belt, and badge. He was extremely friendly and upbeat, smiling profusely. Best of all, he, too, was unattached. What could go wrong?

Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years.

Laila Tarraf was the chief people officer for Peet’s Coffee and Tea, the iconic Berkeley coffee roaster, but she had a secret: She was failing in the most important relationships in her life. Yes, she was a strong and effective business leader, the successful daughter of immigrants, and the mother of a toddler, but she was disconnected from her own feelings and had little patience for those of others. All that changed, however, when three of the people most important to her - her husband, father, and mother - died in quick succession.

Soon they were in love, and when he proposed after a month it seemed recklessly romantic. Caught up in a whirlwind, Mary accepted that Will’s work often took him away from home, out of contact. She was his rock, supporting him emotionally when a misunderstanding led to criminal charges, and even selling everything when blackmailers threatened to kidnap their children. Together, they took on the world.

For months, Eric was slowly tortured as arsenic consumed his body. No one thought that Eric Miller's wife, Ann - an attractive, demure, educated scientist - could be capable of such a horrible crime. No one except for veteran homicide investigator Chris Morgan, a man in the twilight of his career. But from the moment Morgan saw the 30-year-old widow in the police department interview room, he knew he was seeing pure evil.
