- Synopsis
- My Life in Crime by John Kiriamiti is a riveting autobiographical account that explores the journey of a man deeply entrenched in the Kenyan criminal underworld during the 1960s and 70s. The story follows Kiriamiti's transformation from a bright, well-provided-for youth to a high-profile criminal involved in car thefts, pickpocketing, and violent robberies. Dropping out of school at a young age, Kiriamiti gets lured into Nairobi's nightlife and street crime, ultimately orchestrating daring heists. With vivid storytelling, the novel captures his battles with law enforcement, his brushes with danger, and the personal and moral dilemmas of living a life outside the law. Imprisoned in 1971, Kiriamiti reflects on his choices with raw honesty and a pledge to reform, offering readers a gripping insight into crime, survival, and redemption.
