'We know you know. Talk and you're next.'
Bishop Jeremiah Dawodu, pastor of a Nigerian megachurch, has been arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Folasade, the 'First Lady' of the church. The arrest was public, humiliating and sensational - sending shockwaves through Lagos - but throughout it all, Bishop Dawodu maintains his innocence.
Philip Taiwo, an acclaimed investigative psychologist, is asked by his sister, a member of the church's congregation, to clear the pastor's name. With no actual body, it looks to be a simple case and despite Philip's dislike of organised religion, he agrees to take it on as a favour to his sister. Then the First Lady's body is found in a nearby lake just as Philip's beloved family come under attack from someone warning him off the case, and he realises that nothing to do with this investigation will be straightforward.
Was it murder or suicide? Is someone framing the Bishop or the First Lady?

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
Outstanding … This is Kayode's second novel in the Taiwo series and it brings a refreshing new perspective to contemporary crime fiction
Sunday Times
Gaslight deserves all the stars. It's an outstanding, clever and emotional thriller. The best thrillers take you on a journey. Definitely a recommended read
Nadine Matheson
Gaslight is a dizzying poetic crime novel. Femi Kayode is an unparalleled wordsmith

Deftly plotted, with strong characterisation and a great sense of place, Gaslight more than lives up to the promise of its excellent predecessor
Guardian
Gaslight 's particular appeal is the sharp glimpses it provides of local ways of getting things done
