Francis Bay : Land's Ford Publishing : 9780997012743 : 0997012749 : 29 Sep 2020 : Francis Bay is the most intriguing spy you've ever met. He's a poet, a polyglot, a professional liar, an adulterer, a mystic, a confessed murderer, and- by his own calculation- a dead man walking. He's seen too much, done too much, knows too much about some very important people. Bay has retired to his sailboat in a Caribbean paradise, cheating death for now, searching desperately for the truth, and trying to write a novel loosely based on his career. Then he meets a local obeah man, who leads Bay into a druggy, supernatural world- and amazing redemption. Bay's journey of discovery is funny, agonizing, disorienting, and, ultimately, more real than we might imagine. Organic* online reviews of Marshall Evans's previous novels: - "(FNNF-able)took me on a wild roller-coaster ride in a strange land. I laughed because it was funny, I laughed in delight at Evans's audacity and ability to mess with my mind.
