Publisher's summary

Delving into issues of family, class and loyalty, Black Rain Falling is a stunning crime novel that asks how far one should go to protect those they love.

On the Caribbean island of Camaho, forensics expert Michael 'Digger' Digson is in deep trouble.

His fellow CID detective Miss Stanislaus kills a man in self-defence - their superiors believe it was murder, and Digger is given just six weeks to prove his friend is innocent.

While the authorities bear down on them, Digger and Miss Stanislaus investigate a shocking roadside murder, the first tremors of a storm of crime and corruption that will break over Camaho at any moment.

Fast paced. Highly recommended

Great read The story line was well constructed and moved along at a ‘page turning’ pace. The characters, their emotions and personality were thoroughly explored bringing them to life. Beautifully written, Ross kept the pace going to the end. I downloaded Black Rain Falling on Audible and kindle so had the added pleasure of listening to Onwukwe’s narration. What a powerful and sensitive reader. I highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a good crime story. Waiting for the movie!

Simplicity takes on Greed, and triumphs.

Ben Onwukwe breathes life, breadth, depth & often humour into the characters peopling this compelling crime novel, played out against a sumptuous landscape, beautifully painted in words by the poet Jacob Ross.
