Suspense
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.
