A desperate doctor commits murder to appease his wife. A drug-dealing family comes undone following a police raid.

The stories in this anthology take on the beautiful, clustered Lagos with aplomb and all-knowing authority, the characters’ lives coming together to weave a rich tapestry of a city that is at once startling in its grime and entertaining in its glory.
