In the restless streets of Lagos, where dawn breaks with sirens and secrets, Detective Kunle Adebayo learns that every case begins too late unless you arrive early. From a politician’s staged suicide to a market woman’s silent protest turned deadly, Early: The Lagos Files weaves five interlocked investigations that expose the fragile line between justice and survival. Each chapter unearths the moral stains of a nation at war with itself told in a raw, human voice that feels more confession than fiction.
