Going back home again isn't just hard, it's murder. Emotionally adrift, lonely after his wife's death, Boise Montague does the thing no one should ever do: he goes back home again. Boise remembered the Caribbean home of his childhood - in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands - as a paradise. But when his best friend is murdered and the case quickly buried by local police, Boise realizes how far paradise has fallen. With the aid of Dana Goode, a local reporter investigating the kidnapping of a real estate mogul's daughter, Boise goes on the hunt for his friend's killer. But he'll find more than he bargained for - much more. Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder - and his friend's death was just a warm-up. Going home again can literally be murder - especially when your home has changed from Heaven on Earth... to a Dark Paradise.
Autorenporträt
Growing up in an 18-room guesthouse/wartime hospital in the Caribbean isn't for everyone, but it proved just the right atmosphere for bestselling author Gene Desrochers to hone a sense of story, mystery, and scene that would prove critical in his writing career.Born on a tiny dot called "St. Thomas" (somewhere in the Caribbean), Desrochers migrated steadily west over the years until he found a home - with a wife who loves him, kids who are young enough to still think he's pretty cool, and a cat who tolerates him - in the continental United States. He also found the time to earn a JD and become a practicing lawyer, run a tennis club, and publish award-winning short fiction in publications across the US and beyond.Now settled in the mysterious and exotic land known as Los Angeles, Desrochers splits his time between the loves of his life: his family, his writing, his tennis, and his ability to impress strangers with his St. Thomian accent.Find out more about him - and the worlds he creates - at his website, GeneDesrochers.com
