In an imaginary Nigeria, a cunning entrepreneur
is selling body parts stolen from Dr. Menka's hospital for use in
ritualistic practices. Dr. Menka shares the grisly news with his oldest
college friend, bon viveur, star engineer, and Yoruba royal, Duyole
Pitan-Payne<strong>--</strong>the life of every party<strong>-- </strong>who is about to

is at once a literary hoot, a crafty whodunit, and a scathing

activists, who just happens to be a global literary giant.
