About this audiobook
A high-profile kidnapping. A countdown to a live execution. The race is on to find the victim before the clock hits zero…
Rookie cop Bobby Fatokun's first day on the job in Lagos is off to a bad start. Not only has his life in London not prepared him for the hustle of the Nigerian city, but his new boss seems to be missing.
When a popular blog is hacked, the horrifying truth becomes clear – Superintendent Adams has been kidnapped, and his captors plan to kill him live on camera in a matter of hours.
As chaos unfolds and the team scrambles for leads, Bobby begins to suspect that Adams’ role in the police may have had something to do with his abduction.
But without knowing who he can trust, Bobby will have to rely on his instincts alone to find the truth before time runs out.
