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 Because in the once-sleepy island city of Charlotte Amalie, sun, sand, and surf have been replaced by madness, mayhem, and murder - and his friend's death was just a warm-up.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