Lightseekers
by Femi Kayode
Lightseekers by Femi Kayode is a novel set in Nigeria, in particular a small university town near the oil town of Port Harcourt. This setting is, in itself, really interesting, as we pick up little hints of the local history, the Biafran War, the tensions, the corruption and the feelings of the main protagonist—an investigative psychologist—as he adjusts to life back in Nigeria. Chillingly, the murders in the story are based on a real event, and the mystery investigated in the book is what might cause such horrific mob violence.
