Reviews
"Kayode deftly meshes incandescent descriptions with subtly escalating action, while casting light on social inequities and the ease with which anger can be stoked and weaponized on social media....With alluring characters, including a chillingly psychotic villain; an original, many-faceted plot; and blazing psychological and social insights, Kayode's commanding and thought-provoking first crime novel launches a profoundly promising series." -- Booklist, "This is [Kayode's] first novel, and a delight it is....The book introduces the forces at play in contemporary Nigeria as well as serving as a warning against mob mentality -- and a reminder of how readily people fall into it." -- Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, "The ideal for any thriller writer is to get a successful series off the ground. Femi Kayode has a chance with his investigative psychologist Dr Philip Taiwo, who is the protagonist of Lightseekers, the start of a new series that begins with the gripping tale of the mystery of three young students who are brutally murdered in a Nigerian university town, killings that are captured on social media." -- Independent, Best Books 2021, "This debut has an intriguing setting - the Nigerian countryside; an engaging fish-out-of-water hero in Dr Philip Taiwo, recently returned after living in the US for years; and a smart plot centering on a covered-up murder." -- iNews, 75 of the best books for 2021, "These brand new releases for 2021 will certainly keep you on your toes, promising spine-chilling twists and turns in their pages ... the first in a major new crime series." -- Metro, Eight Gripping New Novels, longlisted for the 2022 CWA Gold Dagger "This is [Kayode's] first novel, and a delight it is....The book introduces the forces at play in contemporary Nigeria as well as serving as a warning against mob mentality -- and a reminder of how readily people fall into it." -- Sarah Lyall, New York Times Book Review, "Femi Kayode's debut novel about an investigative psychologist's quest to uncover the truth behind the mob killing of three university students is an original and fast-paced thriller which masterfully explores the smoldering historical tensions underpinning modern-day Nigeria, the role of social media, and the complexities of family, friendship and belonging." -- Lauren Wilkinson, Edgar Award-winning author of American Spy, There's a lot about social expectations and access to resources in this novel, but it's also a solid detective story with a sympathetic protag in Philip Taiwo, and plenty of twists and surprising connections in his investigations. -- The Fiction Addiction|9780316536615|, " Lightseekers is ripe with all the twists and turns you could hope for and Philip Taiwo is exactly the type of person you'd want investigating misdeeds and revealing complicated truths. A fast-paced thriller that offers insight into the ever present tensions in a poverty stricken community. An action-packed and spirited debut." -- Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of Los Angeles Times Book Prize-winning My Sister, the Serial Killer, "Transporting us to Nigeria, this is an atmospheric, vivid and beautifully written mystery that oozes with intrigue, and a brilliant first novel from the winner of the 2019 UEA Crime Writing Prize."-- Dead Good Books, New Crime Books 2021, "An example of genre fiction that brings to light the cracks in our society and those individuals who fall through them."-- LA Review of Books

Synopsis
A Nigerian psychologist travels to a remote southern border town to uncover the truth about the murder of three university students in this "original and fast-paced thriller" (Lauren Wilkinson, author of American Spy ). When Dr. Philip Taiwo is called on by a powerful Nigerian politician to investigate the public torture and murder of three university students in remote Port Harcourt, he has no idea that he's about to be enveloped by a perilous case that is far from cold. Philip is not a detective. He's an investigative psychologist, an academic more interested in figuring out the why of a crime than actually solving it . But when he steps off the plane and into the dizzying frenzy of the provincial airport, he soon realizes that the murder of the Okriki Three isn't as straightforward as he thought. With the help of his loyal and streetwise personal driver, Chika, Philip must work against those actively conspiring against him to parse together the truth of what happened to these students. A thrilling and atmospheric mystery, and an unforgettable portrait of the contemporary Nigerian sociopolitical landscape, Lightseekers is a wrenching novel tackling the porousness between the first and third worlds, the enduring strength of tribalism and homeland identity, and the human need for connection in the face of isolation.
