Publisher's Summary

From critically acclaimed author Troy Onyango comes a dark, suspenseful tale of spirits bearing witness to a crime that rocks an island community, based on the Luo legend of the water people.

When fishermen on Nam Lolwe (commonly known as Lake Victoria) return with the body of a young boy found inside the sack, a close-knit island is thrown into mourning, and they all suspect foul play in the death of the child. But who could have committed such a terrible crime, and why? To discover the truth, the islanders must rely on the water spirits beneath the lake’s surface - the only souls who serve as witnesses to the vile act.

Very good short story

Tragic and sad story but beautiful performance. May not necessarily be based on true events but it does give insight to what life is like small villages on islands. The faith and beliefs of people dictating what they value and how they treat others. Another tragic story of religious corruption and how it destroys the lives of innocents.
