Fired, broke, and running out of time, Nigerian fraud investigator Alvan Dozy Agu never planned to return to Lagos. But when a corrupt ex-minister hires him to find her missing husband, the job spirals into a web of blackmail, political conspiracy, and murder-with Dozy as the prime suspect.
As bodies begin to fall and secrets surface, Dozy must navigate the restless underworld of Lagos, where no one is innocent and survival depends on who you trust.
In this gripping Lagos crime thriller, Kevin Obike delivers a dark, unflinching portrait of corruption and redemption. The Dead Man's Dame blends the moody atmosphere of classic noir with the pulse of modern Nigeria, creating a story that's both intimate and explosive.
Fans of international detective fiction, private investigator suspense, and Nigerian noir mystery will find a new favorite hero in Dozy Agu-a man haunted by the past, yet determined to uncover the truth, even when it might destroy him.
