Rory is born in poverty on a Caribbean island. To give him a chance at a good life, his parents send him to an aunt and uncle in Brooklyn. Rory's dream is to return and rescue his parents from the "hellish island". For sixteen years his dream drives him to excel in everything he does. He returns to the island, but he's too late.
Heartbroken, Rory researches Irish history and discovers 50,000 Irish, including his ancestors, were sold into slavery in the seventeenth century and now only 400 are left on the island. They are the Red Legs of Barbados.
Seven years later, prominent British citizens in London, New York, and Dublin, are being murdered in daring and horrific fashion. Elite police teams in each city suspect Rory, but their evidence is thin.
Will they catch him? Is he seeking more than revenge? Is there any set of circumstances where it's possible to feel empathy for a criminal?
Curse of Our Father is not your grandfather's revenge story. It's intriguing, romantic, thought provoking and hauntingly unforgettable.
Genre: Mystery
