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.

Karen Monsen
5.0 out of 5 stars Complex story—but so worth it
Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2023
This is a short, compact, complex story about the death of a child in a Kenyan village near a lake. There are multiple storylines so hang on tight as the tale progresses at a sometimes dizzying pace. The “water people” reveal who killed the child, but alas there’s much more to the story. A sad and surprising ending
