About This Item
New York: Riverhead, 2014. First edition. Paperback. A very good copy that would be fine without the small whole at the bottom of the rear cover due to the removal of a sticker. An advance uncorrected proof bound in yellow perfect bound wrappers with French flaps. A fictional exploration of the 1976 attempted assassination of reggae superstar Bob Marley and its bloody aftermath. James, a Jamaican author, deftly chronicles the lives of unforgettable characters, gunmen, drug dealers, former girlfriends, CIA agents, even ghosts over the course of three decades as they roam the streets of 1970s Kingston, dominate the crack houses of 1980s New York, and unlimately reemerge in the radically altered Jamaica of the 1990s. Along the way, they learn that evil does indeed cast long shadows, that justice and retribution are inextricably linked, and that no one can truly escape his fate.
