Lagos has a reputation for being a tough city. Marius, ex-intelligence officer and amateur philosopher, isn't happy about travelling there with Ash, a man he barely knows, the head of an IB school in Lom . But when things go badly wrong, Marius finds himself drawn into a search for answers. The Lagos police blame the 'Area Boys', but Marius isn't so sure. He knows Ash was worried about a phone call; a call that made him question if he could trust the men who run the school: Dave Gordon, friend and business partner, and George Barnes, registrar. Back in Lom , it doesn't take Marius long to realize that charismatic, handsome Dave Gordon is not who he pretends to be, and definitely not someone who should be running a school. The problem is, how can Marius unmask a man so careful, so organized and so unscrupulous? And where does justice lie?.
