Summary:
Largo Bay is the background for this explosive novel about love and fear, the second in Gillian Royess mystery series featuring Shad, a Jamaican bartender-detective. With the arrival of Joseph, estranged son of Eric, the bars owner, hopes for the villages future come alive but are soon to be threatened. Janna, who has returned to the island, falls for Josephs good looks and charm, but she isnt the only one with an eye for this mysterious man. As questions about Josephs 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 the bartenders own home, as his longtime love, Beth, pressures him to make a commitment. In a land where religion is strong, but life is cheap and violence is often the answer, what will it take for Shad to protect Eric and his family? In this truth-telling sequel to The Goat Woman of Largo Bay, the village must confront its own darkness or lose a bright future.
