About the Book

A West Indian immigrant living in a New York ghetto was determined to break out of the bondage and work himself into mainstream America. Supported by his attractive wife, Zen, Bob Hansen was able to make good his dream but no sooner, tragedy struck. The healthy, vibrant Zen was suddenly cut down by a broken blood vessel in her head.

Bob grieved himself into depression and decided to give up living. He thought of suicide but did not want to bring shame on the family. Instead he planned a way to get himself murdered and almost succeeded.
