“Girl Number 8 is a propulsive and atmospheric debut thriller from a talented storyteller.”
—Karin Slaughter, #1 New York Times bestselling author

In bustling and class-divided Nigeria, a strong-willed female detective is called to the mansion of a wealthy politician to investigate the disappearance of a house girl’s daughter.


Several girls are already missing.

Now house girl Olori’s four-year-old daughter, Frieda, has vanished while in the care of the house mistress, the wife of local politician Samson Buzugbe. Olori suspects they know more than they’re saying.

What begins as a missing child case takes a turn when Detective Sola Adeyemi is called to investigate. Sola heads up the Department of Ritualistic Murders and Human Sacrifice, a police unit focused on crimes influenced by local superstitions. Sola knows Frieda’s light green eyes put her in particular danger, and she starts to believe the missing girls and the upcoming election are somehow connected.

As the election looms and Sola’s personal life unravels, her investigation leads to a shocking discovery: The crime may just reach her country’s highest levels of power. It’s up to her to find Frieda before time runs out.

Fans of Tana French and Oyinkan Braithwaite will be captivated by this electrifying exploration of maternal guilt, systemic corruption, and the deadly price of superstition.

批評家のレビュー

Praise for Girl Number 8

"I flew through the pages of Girl Number 8. Janice Okoh's incredibly atmospheric and big-hearted debut balances dread and hope and a large cast of characters with elegance and urgency. A gem of a novel!"
—Rachel Howzell Hall, New York Times bestselling author of Mist and Malice

"Janice Okoh’s rich and evocative storytelling had me hooked from the first page. A riveting debut!"
—Foluso Agbaje, author of The Talk of the Party

“A pacy, rich plot, dense in sensual local detail with Okoh exploiting her vibrant visual storyteller palette to the full…The whole novel is as luxurious and nuanced as Nigerian food, an important development of the police procedural genre and a terrific thriller to boot."
—Nina Bhadreshwar, author of The Burnt Moor

"Okoh blends gritty police procedural and gothic horror’s restless spirits and villainous ambitions here, grounding them with Sola and Olori’s perspectives. Balanced tension between social classes and traditional and modern values adds weight to this debut’s outstanding storytelling. Fans of Qwei Quartey’s Ghana-based Darko Dawson and Emma Djan crime series will find similar appeal elements freshly rendered here."
—Booklist (starred review)

"[An] elegant debut...Okoh deserves praise for her ambition and the novel’s exciting climax...an auspicious first effort."
—Publishers Weekly

"This is an assured and atmospheric mystery/suspense novel that will appeal to fans of Tana French...."
—Library Journal
