Ifenna, a young journalist, takes the job of reporting on a popular megachurch in Lagos but veers off-script to investigate the death of a priest during the construction of the church. The article offends the young and powerful Pastor Nicholas, who runs the church, and Ifenna gets fired from his job. Down and out of luck, Ifenna becomes a blogger to expose the corruption and hypocrisy of the men of God, and his path crosses with Pastor Nicholas wife, Nkechi, who is investigating the misdeeds of her husband.

Industry Reviews

"The complex plot complements the vividly rendered setting. Fans of crime novels centered on wrongdoing in powerful religious institutions, such as Mette Ivie Harrison's books, will be riveted"
- Publisher's Weekly (starred review)

"Author Ifedigbo isn't simply out to provide entertainment. In his bio, he says "the calling of a writer is to study humans explicitly and document this in simple, memorable stories." He's done that well. Believers and Hustlers is a study of the desperation caused by political, social, and economic corruption."
- Andrew Diamond, writer at Mystery & Suspense Magazine

"Quite a compelling thriller that got me gripping my tablet."
- Ekila Bontole - Bookseller

"The name Believers and Hustlers, by Sylva Nze Ifedigbo, is absolutely the perfect description for this book! While this book was written about Nigeria, it's also a perfect commentary on the celebrity pastors and the megachurches around the U.S. and the world."
- Jill Tatter

"This was my first novel by a Nigerian author and I enjoyed it. The author adopts a teasing yet indulgent tone towards his characters, and towards the culture as a whole, their foibles and eccentricities, describing the easy manner in which people pick up foreign accents...I highly recommend this one."
- Cynthia Rodrigues

"The book is well balanced on humor, mystery and culture. The author did a wonderful job of pacing the book and character development."
-- Ancillar Grace
