Jamaica is the picturesque background for this explosive novel about love, fear, and intolerance, the second in Gillian Royes's mystery series featuring charming and charismatic bartender-turned-detective Shad.
With the arrival of Joseph, estranged son of Eric, the bar's owner, hopes for the village's future come alive but are soon to be threatened. Janna, who has returned to the island, falls for Joseph's good looks and charm, but she isn't the only one with an eye for this mysterious man.

As questions about Joseph's sexuality arise, Shad struggles with protecting the survival of his beloved birthplace amid the deeply ingrained culture of intolerance that surrounds him. What it means to be a man and a father raises questions within Shad's own home, as his longtime love, Beth, pressures him to make a commitment.
