    The four books in the Shad Series, THE GOAT WOMAN OF LARGO BAY, THE MAN WHO TURNED BOTH CHEEKS, THE SEA GRAPE TREE and THE RHYTHM OF THE AUGUST RAIN are available in your bookstore or on Amazon. They\'re wonderful mysteries that take place in Jamaica. The amateur detective is a funny, smart little bartender named Shad who breaks stereotypes while tackling the issues of political corruption, prejudice and crime on the island\'s North Coast. Enjoy!
