53:59Now PlayingSeven killings? That’s only the beginning in this fast-paced, multi-voiced fictional account of social and political turbulence in Jamaica from roughly the 1970s to the 1990s. James, award-winning author of The Book of Night Women, tells a frenetic swirl of a story, one jam-packed with gangs, ghosts, journalists, government agents, and the CIA, all centering on the 1976 attempted killing of Bob Marley.
