It became an international bestseller and its sequel has been eagerly anticipated.\nGaslight certainly doesn’t disappoint.\n\nLike Lightseekers, it’s a tense thriller inspired by real events, this time revolving around a Nigerian megachurch with a global reach. By turns hard-hitting and emotionally sensitive, the book not only probes the underbelly of Nigerian society but also explores wider questions of faith and identity.\n\nJoin Femi and Red as they discuss the corruption of power and the portrayal of diversity in fiction."}
