Her name is TequilaDream. That's all anyone knows about her. And she's the only one who can save Dozy Agu from a murder charge.
Some people leave Nigeria for a better life. Alvan "Dozy" Agu left to save his.
Now he drives Uber in Washington, DC, and sends every dollar he can spare to his mother and sisters back home. So when a disgraced former minister offers him serious money, he takes it. The job is to fly to Lagos, stop her estranged husband from marrying a mysterious young livestreamer, and bring him home.
Dozy should have stayed in his Uber.
The husband turns up dead, and a man fresh off the plane from America makes a very convenient suspect.
To clear his name, Dozy has to unmask the bride-to-be. But in a city where pastors sell miracles and politicians buy pastors, the trail to TequilaDream runs through people who would rather bury him than answer his questions.
The Dead Man's Dame is the first Dozy Agu thriller, hardboiled noir with the heat and chaos of modern Lagos. For fans of Walter Mosley, Robert Crais and Leye Adenle.
