After a teacher at Yomi’s school is found brutally stabbed in his locked classroom, suspicions immediately fall on troubled student Jermaine Letts. But when the investigation links the murder weapon to Yomi, Joseph is driven to take up the case on his own to save his son.

Long time writer of song lyrics and poetry, Ducie is my first venture into story telling of novel proportions. My lovely wife and self-confessed book addict Nicole keeps me motivated by persistently nagging me to read my finished work. My son Jack and daughter Sophie humble me every day with their energy and curiosity. I hang on every word and babble that leaves their mouths. Away from writing, I follow Walsall FC home and away with my son Jack and I enjoy a good game of chess. Most of all, I really believe there is no greater pleasure to be had than to sit around some table or other enjoying good food and conversation with your family and friends.
