Shadow Work

"I watched him die. I watched him fall into the black heart of the Lagoon. So why is he leaving me gifts made of human skin?" Five years ago, Tope was the "Golden Boy" of the Lagos Major Crimes Unit, a profiler who could think like a monster until he became one. But when he failed to stop The Tailor, a surgical serial killer who sews his victims into grotesque masterpieces, Tope didn't just lose the case. He lost his partner, his badge, and his mind. Now, Tope is a "Yesterday Man," a ghost haunting the city, working a dead-end security job and drowning his PTSD in bitter kola nuts and cheap gin. He thought the nightmares were over. He thought the Tailor was dead. He was wrong. When a body is found suspended in a Lagos skyscraper, displayed with the Tailor’s signature golden thread, the message is clear. But this time, it’s personal. Carved into the victim’s chest is one word: TOPE. Forced back into a world that despises him, Tope must navigate a city fueled by corruption and ancient superstitions. With a skeptical forensic psychologist and detective as his only ally and a younger sister who has just become the killer’s next obsession, Tope must decide: How much of his soul is he willing to sew into the darkness to catch the man who owns his past?
