Nagynéni telefonhívásra
Mi történik, ha 1 (véletlen) gyilkosságot elegyítünk 2 ezer esküvői vendéggel, majd megfűszerezzük egy kínai-indonéz bevándorló család 3 generációjára érvényes átokkal?
A végeredmény 4 kotnyeles ázsiai nagynéni, akik segítenek a bajban!
Amikor Meddelin Chan véletlenül megöli vakrandi partnerét, kotnyeles anyja a még kotnyelesebb nénikéit hívja segítségül, hogy együttesen megszabaduljanak a holttesttől. Ez azonban sokkal nagyobb kihívásnak bizonyul, mint gondolnák, különösen akkor, mikor véletlenül elszállítják a holttestet egy torta hűtődobozában a milliárdos család puccos esküvőjére, amelyen Meddy, az anyja és a nénikéi a kaliforniai sziget üdülőhelyén dolgoznak azon a hétvégén. Ez a családi esküvői vállalkozás eddigi legnagyobb megbízatása - "Nagy napodnak párja nincsen/ megszervezi ez a család: Chan!" -, és semmi, még egy gusztustalan hulla sem állhat a nénikéje tökéletes vajkrémes cukorvirágainak útjába.
Ám a dolgok gyötrelmes fordulatot vesznek, amikor Meddy egyetemi nagy szerelme - és legnagyobb szívfájdalma - meglepetésszerűen feltűnik az esküvői káosz közepén. Vajon lehetséges egyetlen hétvége alatt megúszni egy gyilkosságot, visszabűvölni az életébe az exét és összehozni egy lenyűgöző esküvőt?

“Damion Spencer is a voice to look out for” – Irenosen Okojie
A Barbican First debut
The Devil''s Horsewhip is a startlingly fine novel-in-stories about Caribbean folklore, superstitions and legends surrounding death by a writer whose prose judges at Wasafiri have described as vivid and with a spectacular voice.
At the pinnacle of the pandemic—a year already punctuated with daily funeral processions—a Jamaican expat gets an envelope covered in red writing from his doctor. It sends him into a mad tumble between bad omen days and fever dream nights until all that he thinks about is that bitter day in the Jamaican White River Valley, where he and other teenagers escaped a double-cutlass-wielding madman out for blood. But death is not one to give up easily. The years are not long enough, neither is fleeing across continents too far for death''s spite and all the worse duppies not to come knocking.
Who will cheat death a second time?
A Christian woman who decides to sleep with an obeah man''s monkey. The man with the answer to whether Haitian voodoo is stronger than obeah. A woman who knows how to mourn a dead baby. Or the ones who know how to trap a rolling calf, outrun a three-foot horse, and battle a Chinese duppy and win.
If you''re superstitious or wary of those who are, come read these sticky tales spun in barbwire.

But then who was the writer of the diary? ''I feel the net drawing in around me even closer and closer. Dufydd has appeared suddenly in Southmouth. He will never forgive. I remember his last words to me. ''Remember to come back, man, for if you do not, vengeance will follow.'' What did he mean by that? Who''s vengeance? The communists? Or had he guessed what I was going to do?'' This is one of the strongest narratives that the acclaimed writer, Clifford Witting, ever penned.
