Description

When a mutilated woman’s body is discovered outside a nightclub in Lagos, British journalist Guy Collins is arrested as a suspect. After a brutal introduction to the realities of a Nigerian police cell, he is rescued by Amaka, a fierce protector of the city’s working women. Together they are drawn into a dangerous underworld where corruption, violence and the illegal organ trade thrive.

As Collins uncovers the darker forces shaping life in contemporary Lagos, he also finds himself falling for Amaka. Fast-paced, atmospheric and richly observed, Easy Motion Tourist is a gripping crime novel that reveals the city’s energy, contradictions and resilience.

Praised by the Guardian as “”a rollercoaster ride through a world of extremes”” and by The Crime Review as “”gritty, gripping, and hard to put down””, this is a thrilling introduction to one of African crime fiction’s most distinctive voices.

Publisher Review

"[Easy Motion Tourist] is a great novel about a horrifying place that was all new to me, and will surely resonate as all new to most British readers. It's shocking, it's funny, it's a vaulting jackal of a book that rips out your throat... and your heart. This book roils, rages, and roars. Leye Adenle has my vote for crown prince of crime writers in the UK." - James Ellroy
