First in a new series from a critically acclaimed crime writer. Not all is as it seems when a wealthy land-owner is murdered on the Caribbean island of Guadeloupe and a suspect is charged within 24hrs amongst incriminating evidence. French-born judge Anne Marie Laveaud must navigate the world of Caribbean justice.
The long-awaited return of Timothy Williams, CWA award-winning grand master of crime fiction, whom The Observer named one of the "10 Best Modern European Crime Writers" The sun-drenched Caribbean island of Guadeloupe is technically part of France, subject to French law and loyal to the French Republic. But in 1980, the scars of colonialism are still fresh, and ethnic tensions and political unrest seethe just below the surface of everyday life. French-Algerian judge Anne Marie Laveaud relocated to this beautiful Caribbean island confident that she could make it her new home. But her day-to-day life is rife with frustration. Now she is assigned a murder case in which she is sure the chief suspect, an elderly ex-con named Hégésippe Bray, is a political scapegoat. Her superiors are dismissive of her efforts to prove Bray innocent, and to add insult to injury, Bray himself won't even speak to her because she's a woman. But she won't give up, and Anne Marie's investigations lead her into a complex tangle of injustice, domestic terrorists, broken hearts, and maybe even voodoo.
