Girl Number Eight
By Janice Okoh
From the creator of BBC 3’s JUST ACT NORMAL, comes a gripping and atmospheric debut thriller set in Nigeria
Olori, house-girl to a wealthy Nigerian politician, was cooking. She heard the Buzugbe’s car arrive, and steps echo throughout the house. Any moment, her daughter would come running in, smiling.
But Freida never came home. Her daughter is gone, vanished. Olori has no faith in the dishevelled middle-aged detective who questions her. She’s probably corrupt, like all the others.
While frantically searching for any traces of her daughter, Olori is struck by terrifying rumours – other girls have disappeared in the area, and they haven’t come back. As days pass by with Freida is still missing, Olori begins to wonder…
Who can she trust?
