They’ve been married for 17 years and Messiah has made a conscious decision to walk away from his drug empire in Jamaica and move to the United States in hopes of getting her treatment. Alfie Clarke, Messiah’s little cousin, is due to inherit the family’s empire when Messiah steps down. Alfie is young, reckless, and has a lot to learn.

Or will the desire he feels for her become too strong to bear?

A tale inspired by the 1976 attempted assassination of Bob Marley spans decades and continents to explore the experiences of journalists, drug dealers, killers, and ghosts against a backdrop of social and political turmoil.

Told in two voices, educated Jamaican English and the nation-language of the people, this dramatic novel tells the story of a well-meaning, middle-class woman and a young boy from the ghetto whom she desperately wants to help. Alternating between the perspectives of the woman and the boy, the story engages with issues of race and class, examines the complexities of relationships between people of very different backgrounds, and explores the difficulties faced by individuals seeking to bring about social change through their own actions. The dramatic climax and tragic choices made grow from the gulf of incomprehension between middle-class and poor Jamaicans and provide penetrating insights into the roots of violence in impoverished communities.
