Inspired by the true story of Jamaica''s first serial killer
Inspired by the true story of Jamaica''s first serial killer.
Jamaica, 1772. Caribbean jewel, or a killer''s playground?
On the island of Jamaica, people have started disappearing without trace. Have they run away, trying to start new lives in the British colony under assumed names, or is something darker afoot?
Some of the missing had taken out large life insurance policies before leaving England, and so word of the vanishings reaches Bristol when relatives try to collect their payouts.
With suspicion of a grand fraud in the air, ambitious Black barrister''s clerk Isaiah Ollenu is thrown together with pious insurance agent Ruben Ashby and ordered to the Caribbean to investigate.
But, confronted by prejudice, untoward characters and vengeful spirits, the task may cost this unlikely duo more than either man is willing to pay
A searing snapshot of the British Empire at the threshold of emancipation, and a chilling historical adventure perfect for fans of Laura Shepherd-Robinson and Femi Kayode.
Praise for The Case of the Mad Doctor
''A terrific adventure with a rich historical heart'' A. J. West, author of The Betrayal of Thomas True
