The Dark Asset

By: Edmund Okocha

Narrated by: A'rese Emokpae

Leta Troutman, an elite CIA operative, finds herself deep within Nigeria on a mission to surveil a high-level target. However, Lagos' balmy nights and bustling markets soon become the backdrop to a deadly game when assassination attempts nearly claim her life.

The meticulous nature of the attack reveals a chilling truth: the enemy seems to be a step ahead, possessing insider information that should be known only to the most secretive ranks of the CIA. With her cover blown and trust in the agency shattered, Leta is forced to go dark.

Navigating the complex labyrinth of her past, Leta retraces her steps through previous missions, old allies, and buried secrets. As she delves deeper, a haunting narrative emerges — one where the line between friend and foe blurs and shadows from her past may be the very ones orchestrating her present peril.

In a race against time, with both her pursuers and the agency closing in, Leta must unravel the twisted web of betrayal and rediscover her strength. In "The Dark Asset," the borders between loyalty and deception fade, and a woman's survival hinges on confronting the ghosts of her past.
