The Case of the Mad Doctor

Jamaica, 1772. The wheel of justice is turning. The winds of change blow straight.

On the island of Jamaica, people are going missing. Rumours have landed in England of fraud, foul play and even murder. Suspicious fingers are pointed at Scotsman, Doctor Lewis Hutchinson, but who is he and what does he know?

Isaiah Ollenu, law clerk and aspiring esquire, is busy with making his mark as the only Black man in the courts of Bristol. However, his studies are interrupted when barrister Jacob Dunne gives him the task of investigating the disappearances and putting such rumours to bed.

Joined by insurance man Ruben Ashby, Ollenu boards the Isabella and heads for the shores of Jamaica. Confronted by nightmarish creatures, vengeful spirits and untoward characters, Ollenu and Ashby's journey is not quite as simple task as it should have been - especially when the scales of justice are always unfairly weighted, and certain people would prefer both men dead.

A gripping historical adventure based on the true story of Jamaica's first serial killer.
