The Lazarus Effect

A gripping addition to the African crime genre from a talented debut author.

Vee Johnson is an investigative journalist for the Cape Town magazine Urban. When she spots a photograph of a familiar-looking girl at a local hospital, Vee launches an investigation under the pretext of writing an article about missing children.

Alongside her oddball assistant, Chloe Bishop, Vee delves into the secrets of the fractured Fourie and Paulsen families. What happened to Jacqui Paulsen, who left home two years ago and has not been seen since?

Hawa Jande Golakai is from Liberia and trained as a medical immunologist.
