Summary

Max Mingus wanted to turn down the caseā€”fifteen million bucks on the table or not. The boy was dead, Max was sure of it. Three years had passed since Haitian billionaire Allain Carverā€™s five-year-old son was abducted. Why bother now? The huge bounty and the resources of the most powerful white family in Haiti hadnā€™t turned up a lead.

Sure, Max had been the best detective in Miami once. But that was eight years back. Before he served time for killing a pair of junkie child-murderers. Before his wife, Sandra, died. Plus, heā€™d heard what had happened to the other PIā€™s sent to Haiti before himā€”all dead, or their lives permanently screwed up, without ever getting close to finding Charlie Carver.

But with nothing left to loseā€”and for all that moneyā€”Max does go down there. The talk of voodoo and black magic is nothing compared to the haunting quiet of his own empty house. What Max doesnā€™t count on is the depth of corruption, manipulation, and greed Haiti breeds in its inhabitants, a murky evil worse than death, which can easily swallow a man wholeā€”especially a troubled man like Max Mingus.

When the trail to Charlie Carver points to a local mythā€”ā€œMr. Clarinet,ā€ a spirit figure who for decades is said to have been tempting children away from their familiesā€”could the truth be even more shocking than the legend? Maxā€™s job suddenly isnā€™t all about finding the boy, his killers, or the moneyā€”itā€™s about just staying aliveā€¦
