The Omai Files

mining effluent belonging to the Wadpole

Corporation, an Omai mining company, broke.

Several billion liters of cyanide-laced slurry was

emptied into the Essequibo River and its tributaries.

The Omai River became devoid of life. The region

was locked in an ecological holocaust. People died in

droves. Flora and fauna ceased to exist. Guyana was

under the microscopes of international organizations

like WHO, US EPA and Interpol when indigenous

groups sought their help. Then one day, Frank

Wilder, an Interpol agent came to Georgetown. His

mission——find the Omai Files. Little did he know

that his journey to Georgetown would cause him

to cross paths with Alma Rampersaud, an Indo-

Guyanese woman and secretary to the Minister of

Health. The two became molded together by their

demons, their vision and their erotic power over

each other. From Lamaha Gardens to the lavish

estates of Prashad Nagar, they forged a conspiracy

to find the Omai Files and expose a political culture

that flourished in Guyana for decades.
