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.
