 p>"Nicole Oruwari has the perfect life: a handsome husband\; a palatial ho
 use in the heart of glittering Lagos\, Nigeria\; and a glamorous group of 
 friends. She left gloomy London and a troubled family past behind for sunn
 y\, moneyed Lagos\, becoming part of the Nigerwives--a community of foreig
 n women married to Nigerian men. But when Nicole disappears without a trac
 e after a boat trip\, the cracks in her so-called perfect life start to sh
 ow. As the investigation turns up nothing but dead ends\, her auntie Claud
 ine decides to take matters into her own hands. Armed with only a cell pho
 ne and a plane ticket to Nigeria\, she digs into her niece's life and unco
 vers a hidden side filled with dark secrets\, isolation\, and even violenc
 e. But the more she discovers about Nicole\, the more Claudine's own burie
 d history threatens to come to light." MCPL Catalog</p>\n<p>This book is a
