Publisher's Synopsis
Bristol, 1967: JT Ellington, ex-cop and reluctant private eye, is still trading in favours, helping those scared of the police or trying to stay one step ahead of the law. But when news arrives of a tragedy that's unfolded thousands of miles away, life gets even tougher. He needs to journey home to Barbados to pay his final respects - but first he must travel to New York, where his cousin Vic is boss of a criminal empire. There, JT discovers a web of violence that stretches to Barbados and back, and connects him to the deaths of his own beloved wife and daughter. Embroiled in a world of drugs, corruption, voodoo and the legacy of slavery, can JT escape the demons of his past as he returns to the island of his birth?
