Papillote Press announces the publication of A Scream in the Shadows by Mac Donald Dixon, a writer from St Lucia.

Set in a Caribbean landscape far from the tourists’ gaze, this is a compelling read where everyday life fuels violence and lies. It’s a murder mystery with powerful insights into a disturbing reality.

A young girl is murdered on a Caribbean island. Her step-father is arrested. But did he do it? While the accused languishes in jail – without trial – his son joins the police force to clear his father’s name.

But a culture of secrecy and official corruption block the young detective’s search for the truth.

It is a death far from paradise.

“In A Scream in the Shadows,” says Mac Donald Dixon, “I wanted to draw attention to the evils of our society: domestic violence and sexual abuse and also a broken legal system which believes that family matters are private. My novel uses the backdrop of a rural village in St Lucia but it could be anywhere in the Caribbean.”

Mac Donald Dixon was born and educated in St Lucia, in the eastern Caribbean.

He has been a banker and consultant as well as a playwright, poet and publisher.

He lives in St Lucia.

This is his first crime novel.
