An American diplomat--reformed alcoholic, unreformed gambler, and inveterate smart-ass-- finds himself under threat of disgrace and murder even as he seeks love and redemption on the strange and spirit-ridden island of Madagascar. Author Steve Holgate brings the mystery and mysticism of Madagascar to life in his haunting and exciting second novel.
