CALL THE FOUR

In the shadowed heart of Edinburgh, two teenage girls disappear without a trace. The city sleeps, unaware that its peace is about to be shattered. Adeyinka and Eoin, two boys from their school, carry a secret. Guilt gnaws at them. And in a reckless act of courage, they vanish into the night, chasing after the abductors without telling a soul.

By midnight, four teenagers are missing. Panic grips the city. The police scramble. Parents flood social media with desperate pleas and wild theories. Misinformation spreads like wildfire, igniting fear and suspicion.

Then, a CCTV clip surfaces: Adeyinka, the son of Nigerian immigrants, walking into the park with one of the missing girls. The image becomes a spark. Rumours explode. Hate festers. A violent anti-immigrant protest erupts, tearing through Edinburgh and rippling across the nation. The city that once stood united fractures overnight.

As the search spirals into chaos, the real danger slips further from view. Far to the south, Adeyinka and Eoin—brave, impulsive, and tragically unprepared—stumble into the clutches of a ruthless grooming and trafficking ring. Their fight for truth becomes a fight for survival.

Call The Four is a searing tale of youthful defiance, fractured communities, and the devastating cost of silence. In a society quick to judge and slow to protect, four teenagers become the lightning rod for a nation’s unrest. And only by facing the darkest corners of their world can they hope to find the light.

NEW BOOK RELEASE!
Purple Lines Don't Meet by Blessing S. John-Abhulimen

Tessy’s life is a portrait of near-perfection: a fulfilling career, a devoted fiancé, and the joy of family. But when a buried family secret explodes into the open, triggered by a routine DNA test, her world fractures. The man who raised her isn’t her biological father. And the truth? It’s been hidden in plain sight.

As tensions spiral and loyalties unravel, Tessy makes a shocking decision: she abandons everything, her family and the wedding she once dreamed of, to flee to the UK under the guise of pursuing a master’s degree. But her real mission is far more personal. Armed only with a long-deleted text and a vague suspicion of his workplace, she begins a covert search for the man she suspects is her true father, a ghost from her mother’s past.

What she uncovers will force her to confront not just the man behind the mystery, but the woman who shaped her life with silence. And as Tessy edges closer to the truth, she must ask herself: is knowing worth the cost of everything she’s left behind?

NEW RELEASE!

Osas Ediku was just four years old when her father, a devoted police officer, was tragically taken from her life. Left with no education and no inheritance, her mother Ruth made a quiet, ferocious vow: Osas would never be left behind. Ruth shaped their lives around the privileged children of her late husband’s colleagues, forging ahead with unthinkable sacrifices and humiliating compromises to give her daughter the future she deserved.

Two decades later, Osas arrives in South London to begin her master’s degree, an achievement hard-won. At Ruth’s insistence and in spite of her reswrvations, she reconnects with Paul, Bayo, and Edafe, the sons of her father’s former peers, men who are now rich and highly ranked in the force. Osas settles, safe in the assumption she’s finally caught up, finally worthy of the same space they occupy.

But belonging isn't bought with ambition alone. Osas will soon find that she may have made it here like the boys, but the path she and her mother had taken isn't a well kept secret, and her journey, more than her destination has become her identity.
