Grittier than TV’s ‘A Death in Paradise’, this crime novel is set in the rural Caribbean (St Lucia) where
traditional allegiances and a moribund criminal justice system provide a
backdrop to the rape and murder of a young girl. When her father is
accused of the crime, her brother joins the police to try and clear their
father's name. While the suspect languishes in jail on remand, the young
detective makes some alarming discoveries. Thwarted by his mother but supported
by his girlfriend, a horrible truth finally emerges.
