Publisher's Summary
Winner of the Jhalak Prize
Secrets can be buried, but bones can speak....
After standing witness to a murder on the streets of the Caribbean island of Camaho, young Michael 'Digger' Digson is recruited into a unique plainclothes homicide squad, an eclectic group of semi-official police officers, led by the enigmatic DS Chilman.
Digger becomes enmeshed in Chilman's obsession with a cold case, the disappearance of a young man. But Digger has a murder to pursue, too: that of his mother, killed by a renegade police squad when he was a boy.
He has two weapons at his disposal - his skill in forensics and Chilman's latest recruit, the mysterious, observant Miss Stanislaus. Together, the two find themselves dragged into a world of dangerous secrets that demands every ounce of their courage to survive.
This award-winning crime debut by highly acclaimed author Jacob Ross marks the thrilling start to a new series following forensics genius Michael Digson.

Wonderful read!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Interesting characters, complex plot and amazing setting in a part of the world I know little about. Narration was excellent also.

Brilliant!
Brilliant! This was a quick read with the all the elements of a good police procedural. Add to that wonderful writing, unique and interesting characters, an intriguing story and a cracking pace and I was hooked from the beginning and stayed that way until the last page. The narrator - Ben Onwukwe - was excellent.
