Summary:

An obsessive book editor quits his New York publishing job and moves to Frankfurt, Germany to live with his enigmatic girlfriend, their West Indian basenji and an unfinished manuscript of ambiguous authorship. Part of the story is set in a fertile Caribbean island of South Roseau, where our hero gets ensnarled in an exotic tropical murder, a dubious plot for property development and a variety of local island characters. This is David Applefield's second novel after Once Removed (Mosaic Press 1997) which was highly praised in many reviews, including The Library Journal which stated: ..."contains passages of very fine writing, brilliant juxtapositions and deeply moving mediations on the nature of memory and death."
