Michael (Digger) Digson, who has been refused money to pay for the university education he desires, is recruited into the local police force where he ends up being sent to London in order to study forensics. He returns back to Camaho (the First People's name for Grenada) where he gets deeply involved in a cold case, an obsession with his former boss, Chilman, and he ends up working with the brilliant Miss K Stanislaus.

This is a well written and crafted novel, although it took a while for me to become sure I wanted to keep read the next book about Digger. Ross is writing about what he knows--he was born and raised in Grenada, although he moved to London in 1984, and, like Digger, was a bright, literate youth. The dialogue is patois, but Ross makes it easy to read (not rife with apostrophes, etc, that make it visually distracting).
