An undocumented immigrant returns home after facing the indignities of the American Dream working as a washer of the dead, only to be met with a tragedy. A child struggles to come to terms with the fate of their beloved one-eyed chicken Otuanya – treated as a family pet but destined for the cooking pot. A family lives in fear of the dreaded Shadow Fever that haunts their town, keeping them trapped indoors after sunset or risk falling to an eternal sleep. From realistic explorations of family life, including parenthood and infidelity, to gritty noir and fantastical horror, the stories collected here are a testament to the endless imagination and possibilities of African literature. These witty, provocative and compulsively readable stories grapple with themes of feminism, patriarchy, class and exploitation, showcasing the role of the writer as an astute observer of life. This anthology is a generous offering, a feast of diverse, delectable narratives, with something for everyone. - E-bokFinska, 2022

He tietävät jo, kuka uhrit murhasi. Nyt heidän täytyy selvittää miksi.
Femi Kayoden dekkarissa Pimeän jäljillä psykologi matkaa Nigerian syrjäseudulle selvittämään syytä kolmen nuoren yliopisto-opiskelijan julmaan murhaan.
Kun kolme nuorta yliopisto-opiskelijaa murhataan julmasti nigerialaisessa yliopistokaupungissa, murhat ja niiden tekijät tallentuvat sosiaaliseen mediaan kuvina ja videoina. Koko maailma tietää, kuka opiskelijat murhasi, mutta kukaan ei tiedä miksi. Kun murhien oikeudenkäynti alkaa, pyytää yhden uhrin varakas isä psykologi Philip Taiwoa selvittämään, miksi nuoret miehet surmattiin.
Väkijoukkojen käyttäytymiseen erikoistunut Taiwo ei ole poliisi tai etsivä, mutta yliopistokaupunkiin saavuttuaan hän huomaa, että jokin taho ei halua hänen olevan paikalla eikä varsinkaan selvittävän murhien motiivia. Mutta pian tutkimus muuttuu kilpajuoksuksi aikaa vastaan, sillä kolme murhattua nuorta miestä eivät ole jäämässä tapahtumien ainoiksi uhreiksi.
Femi Kayoden Pimeän jäljillä on Nigerian syrjäseuduille sijoittuva trilleri, jonka syke kiihtyy vääjäämättä aina viimeiselle sivulle asti.
