Leakey Maitethia is a Kenyan author and Computer Science graduate from the University of Nairobi whose work brings together storytelling, technology, mystery, and the complexities of human experience. His writing is driven by a fascination with the questions that emerge when ordinary life begins to conceal extraordinary possibilities—when truth becomes uncertain, memories become unreliable, and the people we trust may not be who they appear to be. Leakey is the author of three novels: The Job That Doesn't Exist, Salam, Am Habibi, and The First Lie. Across these works, he explores suspense, mystery, psychological tension, identity, relationships, secrets, and the consequences of choices that can change the course of a person's life. His stories are designed to keep readers questioning what they know, what they believe, and what might be waiting beneath the surface of familiar places and ordinary situations. With a background in Computer Science, Leakey also brings a technical perspective to his creative work. His interests in technology, artificial intelligence, systems, and the changing relationship between people and the digital world influence the themes he explores as a writer. Through his novels, Leakey aims to create immersive stories that entertain while leaving readers with questions long after the final page. His work represents an emerging Kenyan voice in contemporary fiction, combining local perspective with stories written for readers everywhere.
