Life had always been a song for Detective Eric Abani of the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Bureau (F. I. I. B) of the Nigeria Police Force until one awful Sunday evening when his former friend, business mogul David Okaro was shot dead by a sniper as they played golf. Faced with a possible murder charge but given a chance to investigate, Eric soon stumbled on the trail of the Ogidi Secret Cult whose emblem was The Black Tiger effigy. Driven by patriotism and his sound moral norms, Eric went after the cult with zeal but soon got entangled in a battle of life and death as he got close to blowing the lid off the most sophisticated, most brutal and very vast ritual killings and racketeering syndicate of different bizarre dimensions ever set up on the Atlantic coast of West Africa - ran by The Ogidi Secret Cult, which had its presence spread out like the tentacles of an octopus in every city and every institution of higher learning in the world's most populous black nation. Eric's travails within the course of trailing the cult's activities from city to city climaxed as he came face to face with its most lethal man tagged 'The Executioner' and whose identity had hitherto been shrouded in utmost secrecy.
