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.
