When a body disappears from a locked and heavily guarded room, private detective Lara Ayodele is called in to investigate a case that should be impossible.

At an exclusive funeral home in Lagos, the body of a powerful Yoruba chief vanishes without a trace. With the family due to arrive and a public scandal looming, Lara has just forty-eight hours to uncover the truth.

As she and her assistant Edith Chen examine CCTV footage, question uneasy staff, and piece together the events of a mysterious power cut, the case begins to shift. What first appears to be a failure of security reveals something far more deliberate.

Beneath the surface lies a story shaped by power, silence, and long-buried secrets.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Lagos, The Case of the Missing Body introduces Lara Ayodele, a sharp and perceptive investigator navigating a world where appearances deceive and the truth is rarely straightforward.

This is the first story in the Lara's Detective Agency series.
