Publisher's Summary

From critically acclaimed author Troy Onyango comes a dark, suspenseful tale of spirits bearing witness to a crime that rocks an island community, based on the Luo legend of the water people.

When fishermen on Nam Lolwe (commonly known as Lake Victoria) return with the body of a young boy found inside the sack, a close-knit island is thrown into mourning, and they all suspect foul play in the death of the child. But who could have committed such a terrible crime, and why? To discover the truth, the islanders must rely on the water spirits beneath the lake’s surface - the only souls who serve as witnesses to the vile act.

Beautiful and creative

Ancient African spirituality clashes with Western religion when dealing with grief, anger and fear, after a small Luo village finds a child violently drowned in their river. Who—or WHAT—is responsible? Beautiful and creative prose meets the age-old debates about prostitution, women’s rights, and so much more; a lot going on in only 90 minutes. All three Audible narrators were outstanding.
