Three young students are brutally murdered in a Nigerian university town, their killings - and their killers - caught on social media. The world knows who murdered them; what no one knows is why. As the legal trial begins, investigative psychologist Philip Taiwo is contacted by the father of one of the boys, desperate for some answers to his son' s murder. Philip is an expert in crowd behaviour and violence but travelling to the sleepy university town that bore witness to the killings, he soon feels dramatically out of his depth. Years spent first studying, then living in the US with his wife and children mean he is unfamiliar with many Nigerian customs and no one involved in the case seems willing to speak out. The more Philip digs, and the more people he meets with a connection to the case, the more he begins to realise that there is something very wrong concealed somewhere in this community.
A superb novel - so inventive and so well done. It' s just brilliant -- Harriet Tyce Gripping, beautifully written and unlike anything else you' ll read -- William Ryan Thrillingly good. Femi Kayode takes crime fiction - very literally - to new places . . . Told from the perspective of a returning expatriate, Lightseekers takes us deep into the rich complexities of contemporary Nigeria -- William Shaw An original and fast-paced thriller that masterfully explores the smoldering historical tensions underpinning modern-day Nigeria, the role of social media, and the complexities of family, friendship and belonging -- Lauren Wilkinson An important story masterfully told -- Leye Adenle
