London: Heinemann, 1981. Offset. 6 x 8 ¼ in. In orange illustrated wraps.
A superb short novel following a young crime reporter and dance-band leader in a large West African city grappling with social responsibility and individual pleasures in mid-1950s Nigeria, just a few years before the country’s independence. Very good.
