PURPLE

LEONARD ADIBUA (38) is a towering, gentle giant ,  failed musician, failed husband by his own estimation, successful only at loving his wife MARIA and their son KELVIN (5). When Kelvin collapses singing in church, the diagnosis is catastrophic: viral myocarditis, heart destroyed, 9 million naira for transplant, 31 days to live.

Leonard has 120,750 naira. He drives a taxi. He prays. He begs. He gambles on lotto with Maria’s sewing money. His only hope is a philanthropist who funds churches by day and maims debtors with electric saws by night ; a woman who runs “Second Chance,” an organ harvest camp where the poor become spare parts for the rich.

When he loses her money and begs to die for his son instead, two strangers rescue him from a burning vehicle, fake his death, and hide him in a remote village. He doesn’t know they’re sisters. He doesn’t know one is the loan shark’s daughter. He doesn’t know the rescue isn’t charity .

A medical crime thriller set across Lagos and London.
