Folasade Dawodu is married to the Bishop of a Nigerian Megachurch. She is prominent, she is young, she inspires: she is the First Lady.
But when Bishop Jeremiah Dawodu is arrested at the pulpit for the murder of his beloved wife, shock cuts through this tight community. The arrest is televised all around Lagos, but while Bishop consistently maintains his innocence, and his congregation believe him, the First Lady remains missing.
Philip Taiwo, compassionate investigative psychologist, is asked by his sister, a member of the Dawodus' church, to take on the case: to find out the truth, whatever the cost. But as he searches for Folasade, his own beloved family begins to fracture.

Gaslight is the sensational follow up to Femi Kayode's acclaimed debut, Lightseekers, picked as a Book of the Month by the Times, Sunday Times, Independent, Guardian, Observer, Financial Times and Irish Times and as a Waterstones Thriller of the Month

Femi Kayode trained as a clinical psychologist in Nigeria, before starting a career in advertising. He has created and written several prime-time TV shows. His debut novel, Lightseekers, was selected as a Best Crime Novel of the Month by The Times, Sunday Times, Independent, Guardian, Observer, Financial Times and Irish Times, was longlisted for the CWA Gold Dagger Award and was a Waterstones Thriller of the Month. He lives in Windhoek, Namibia with his family.

Wonderful. Full of narrative charm (appropriately leavened by a little cynicism), full of characters that, while specific to the theme and setting, were also universally recognizable and translatable Lee Child
