Going back home again isn't just hard, it's murder.

Emotionally adrift, lonely, Boise Montague does the thing no one should ever do: he goes back home again.

Boise Montague 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 Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder—and his friend's death was just a warm-up.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.
