Lots of nasty, violent characters but a masterpiece of a book. When white characters are narrating a chapter, their imitation of Jamaican accents is at times dreadful - which perhaps reflects the character but grates on ears. Had to follow some chapters in physical book as hard to follow but that might be my deaf English ears.

Synopsis
On 3 December 1976, just weeks before Bob Marley was to play the Smile Jamaica Concert to ease political tensions, seven gunmen from West Kingston stormed his house. Marley survived and went on to perform at the free concert. Not a lot was recorded about the fate of the seven gunmen, but much has been said, whispered and sung about in the streets of West Kingston.
