“’Her Name Is Knight’ features an elite assassin heroine on a mission to topple a human trafficking ring and avenge her family,” Angoe said on her website. “Stolen from her Ghanaian village as a child, Nena Knight has plenty of motives to kill. Now an elite assassin for a powerful business syndicate called the Tribe, she gets plenty of chances.”
She is a first-generation Ghanaian American and, in 2020, received the Eleanor Taylor Bland Award for Emerging Writers of Color from Sisters in Crime. A native of northern Virginia, Angoe taught English in middle and high school, served as an instructional coach for virtual teacher and was a freelance copy editor. She and her blended family of six live in South Carolina.
“Her Name Is Knight has appeared in the New York Times Book Review, OprahDaily.com, POPSUGAR, Nerd Daily, the Washington Independent Review of Books, The Guardian, and other platforms.
Angoe also wrote “They Come at Knight.” The Nena Knight series has been optioned for a TV series by Ink Factory and Fifth Season and is currently in development.
