For the treasure lies in Haiti, the island that was once France's most profitable colony--until the blood-chilling repression practiced there by the whites upon their slaves triggered a savage rebellion. The world's only Black Republic still looks with murderous distrust upon any strangers who might set foot there, and January is in no hurry to go. But when Vitrack is murdered, and attempts are made on January's wife and himself, he understands he has no choice. He must seek the treasure himself, to draw the unknown killers into the open--a bloody trail that leads first to Cuba, then to Haiti, and finally to the secret that lies buried with the Accursed gold"--Page four of cover. 20220108.
