In the wake of a scandalous string of affairs, a double homicide shatters the peace of an elite secondary school, reigniting interest in an earlier crime that had slipped into the shadows, nearly forgotten. The narrative threads through the life of a man whose daily routine is steeped in the perilous world of arms and drug trafficking, spanning cities with a global reach. His operations cleverly evade legal capture by manipulating racial prejudices, using a black man as a decoy to slip contraband past unsuspecting eyes. Unknown to each other, three women are entwined with the same man, their overlapping relationships hidden until a shocking revelation exposes the complex web of deceit. The ensuing chaos that envelops the philandering protagonist is a fierce storm only scorned lovers can unleash. Amidst the chaos, the true casualties are three innocent boys, swept up in the wake of their elders’ actions. As the story unravels, it is their futures that hang in the balance, awaiting the restoration of law, order, and sensibility.
Duncan‘s early life was largely about hardship and measured poverty in Jamaica. Going strongly in his favour was his ambitions, determination to lift himself to greater heights. Duncan took the first opportunity to follow in his parent‘s footsteps and migrated to the United Kingdom in the early 1960‘s. Now the obstacles were racial, but he circumvented them, acquired a string of academic degrees, entered the Teaching profession and in just over thirteen years, established himself, in West Yorkshire as Britain‘s first Black Headmaster of a secondary school: a feat that Duncan would repeat four years later when he was appointed to the headship of one of Birmingham largest schools.
