THE SCREAMING OF THE INNOCENT by Unity Dow (2001)

One afternoon, a twelve-year-old girl goes missing near her village. The local police tell her mother and the villagers she's been taken by wild animals. Five years later, young government employee Amantle Bokaa finds a box bearing the label 'Neo Kakang: CRB 45/94'. It contains evidence of human involvement in the girl's death. So begins an undercover struggle for justice and retribution.

Unity Dow is a lawyer, human rights activist, and author, who has previously served as a judge on the High Court of Botswana, has held various ministerial positions in goverment, won a landmark case against government on gender discrimination in children's citizenship, and successfully represented a Botswana gay, lesbian, and bisexual organisation to register with government; as a judge she ruled against the Botswana government's treatment of the San indigeous people in the Kalahari desert, compelling the state to provide them services; she is currently a Member of Parliament in Botswana.

When a Nigerian's conduct turns unpredictable, or outright irrational, it's almost a certainty that s/he is consulting a bokaa, babaláwo, dibia,sangoma, alfa, or pastor - if not a combination thereof.
