Winner of the Jhalak Prize

Secrets can be buried, but bones can speak....

After standing witness to a murder on the streets of the Caribbean island of Camaho, young Michael 'Digger' Digson is recruited into a unique plainclothes homicide squad, an eclectic group of semi-official police officers, led by the enigmatic DS Chilman.

Digger becomes enmeshed in Chilman's obsession with a cold case, the disappearance of a young man. But Digger has a murder to pursue, too: that of his mother, killed by a renegade police squad when he was a boy.

He has two weapons at his disposal - his skill in forensics and Chilman's latest recruit, the mysterious, observant Miss Stanislaus. Together, the two find themselves dragged into a world of dangerous secrets that demands every ounce of their courage to survive.

This award-winning crime debut by highly acclaimed author Jacob Ross marks the thrilling start to a new series following forensics genius Michael Digson.

An involving first crime novel from Jacob Ross

Ben Onwukwe is a fabulous narrator, and so I chased his voice into my first Audible crime novel , "Black Rain". Longed for more of these characters...that book stands alone...
I searched Audible after...& realised it was a sequel...to " The Bone Readers". Wonderful character formation in both words and the reading of them. A great double act both from the two lead investigators in the book, and between writer and narrator.

Absolutely loved it!

Very good book. Excellent narrator! It was hard to pause so I could go to work. lol. But finished it in two days.
