      Geheimen kunnen begraven worden, maar botten kunnen spreken... Wanneer Michael (Digger) Digson wordt gerekruteerd in de nieuwe burgerkleding eenheid van DS Chilman op het kleine Caribische eiland Camaho, brengt hij zijn eigen missie mee om te ontdekken wie uit een afvallige politie-eenheid zijn moeder heeft vermoord tijdens een politieke demonstratie.

      "On the Caribbean island of Camaho, forensics expert Michael 'Digger' Digson is in deep trouble. Miss Stanislaus, his friend and fellow CID detective, kills a man in self-defence, but their superiors believe it was murder, and he's given just six weeks to prove otherwise - six weeks in which Digger catches a shocking roadside murder and the Justice Minister attempts to break up the unit, and with it bury the pair and their unconventional boss, DS Chilman. As Digger and Miss Stanislaus delve further into the tangled mesh of murders on the island, they discover a thread of crime, cruelty and corruption that suggests a storm is due to break over Camaho at any moment."--Provided by publisher.
