'Brother, a dead body can't run from a coffin, but their spirit sure as hell can try.'

Life is tough for JT Ellington. As an ex-cop he isn't exactly built for the job of morally corrupt private eye. But it's 1967 in St Paul's, Bristol, and he doesn't have a choice. He's still trading in favours, helping those wary of the police. And as the cousin of Vic, Harlem's newest crime lord, JT's business is booming.

As he travels to New York and becomes entangled with the seedy underworld, tragedy unfolds thousands of miles away in Barbados, and JT discovers his cousin's activities stretch all the way back to his hometown - a web of violence that catches his own wife and daughters' tragic deaths in its wake. Forced to journey home to the Caribbean and embroiled in a world of drugs and corruption, can JT untangle a dark history on the island of his birth?

'Great "Windrush Noir". Keep them coming.'
