Formidable ex-Scotland Yard detective Millie-Jean Black, returns to Jamaica to join the local police force and heal her relationship with her transgender sister, Hibiscus. She’s found a best friend in her queer but closeted JCF partner, Curtis and is in an early-days romance... But when JPF boss Barracat sets her on a case to find a missing 16-year-old schoolgirl, Janet Fenton, the past she’s been running from threatens to upend her new life. The case takes her from the upper echelons of Jamaican society – The Somervilles – a white family who once made money through sugar and slaves, to Kingston’s criminal underbelly – The Hot Pinky, a go-go club, run by Freddie Somerville, the missing girl’s boyfriend. A dead body at Freddie’s house, and the arrival of UK Superintendent Luke Osbourne herald something bigger than a missing persons case.
