When Dr. Philip Taiwo is called on by a powerful Nigerian politician to investigate the torture and murder of three university students in Port Harcourt, he has no idea that he’s about to be enveloped by a perilous case that is far from cold. Philip is not a detective. He’s an investigative psychologist, an academic more interested in figuring out the why of a crime than actually solving it. But when he steps off the plane and into the frenzy of the provincial airport, he soon realizes that the murder of the Okriki Three isn't as straightforward as he thought. 

In der nigerianischen Universitätsstadt Port Harcourt werden drei junge Studenten von einem Mob verfolgt und brutal umgebracht – ein Video der grausamen Morde kursiert in den sozialen Medien, und den Tätern wird der Prozess gemacht. Zu Prozessbeginn wird der Psychologe Dr. Philip Taiwo vom Vater eines der Opfer damit beauftragt, Licht in das Dunkel der schrecklichen Ereignisse zu bringen, die zum Tod seines Sohnes geführt haben. Taiwo, Spezialist für Massenpsychologie und Gewalt, hat lange im Ausland gelebt.

When three young students are brutally murdered in a Nigerian university town, their killings - and their killers - are caught on social media. The world knows who murdered them; what no one knows is why. As the legal trial begins, Investigative Psychologist Philip Taiwo is contacted by the father of one of the boys, desperate for some answers to his son's murder. But Philip is an expert in crowd behaviour and violence, not a detective, and after travelling to the sleepy university town that bore witness to the killings, he soon feels dramatically out of his depth.
