London’s August bank holiday weekend saw multiple violent incidents, with stabbings reported across several areas.

This is a fascinating book that is extremely well written. The descriptions of life in Grenada and the Caribbean are spot on and the use of the local language perfect. A thought provoking and enjoyable read. I highly recommend it.
