Black Rain Falling Summary

Black Rain Falling: 'A truly amazing writer, an outstanding novel' Bernardine Evaristo by Jacob Ross

'Jacob Ross is a truly amazing writer. Black Rain Falling is an outstanding novel'
BERNARDINE EVARISTO, WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE


Black Rain Falling is a stunning crime novel that asks how far one should go to protect those they love.

On the Caribbean island of Camaho, forensics expert Michael 'Digger' Digson is in deep trouble.

His fellow CID detective Miss Stanislaus kills a man in self-defence - their superiors believe it was murder, and Digger given just six weeks to prove his friend is innocent.

While the authorities bear down on them, Digger and Miss Stanislaus investigate a shocking roadside murder, the first tremors of a storm of crime and corruption that will break over Camaho at any moment.
