The Lazarus Effect (A Vee Johnson Mystery) book by H J Golakai

Voinjama Johnson’s life is a mess. She’s an investigative journalist who’s been seeing things: a teenage girl in a red hat that goes hand-in-hand with the debilitating episodes she is loath to call ‘panic attacks’. Until she spots a photo of the girl from her hallucinations at a local hospital.

Vee embarks on an investigation with her oddball assistant Chloe, delving into the secrets of the fractured Fourie and Paulsen families. A gripping new addition to the African crime genre.

“A wonderful debut…brimming with intelligence, wit and real heart. Enormously entertaining.”
