Description
An American expatriate living in Davao, Jack Henson is pulled back into a past he thought he’d left behind when his ex-wife asks for help—only to have her stepdaughter’s body discovered in a locked-down cave. With the case turning quickly from scandal to something darker, Jack goes undercover, navigating secrets, shifting loyalties, and the uneasy shadows that gather around a community that prefers silence. Blending suspense with sharp social observation, the novel explores themes of identity, guilt, and the stories people tell to survive—while asking what truth costs when it threatens the fragile order of home. Nick Joaquin’s distinctive, literary style brings atmosphere and moral complexity to every turn, making this investigation as much about human nature as it is about the hunt for a killer.
