Title: Easy Motion Tourist
Description: In "Easy Motion Tourist," Guy Collins, a British journalist on the hunt for an election story in Lagos, finds himself in a nightmarish situation when he stumbles upon a mutilated female body. Wrongly accused and held in a hot and bloody police station cell, Collins faces a dire fate. However, Amaka, a bold guardian angel of Lagos working girls, intervenes, mistaking Collins for a BBC journalist who can expose the city's dark underworld.
As the plot unfolds, "Easy Motion Tourist" introduces readers to a cast of astonishing characters in the pulsating rhythm of Nigeria's mega-city. The novel captures the essence of Lagos, from its open drains to the glamour of its upscale districts, in a crime story that blends suspense, social commentary, and a touch of Tarantino-esque energy. Leye Adenle's debut crime novel is a thrilling and gritty exploration of Lagos's underbelly.
