For fans of the hit show, Death in Paradise, comes the real story of a British detective fighting crime and uncovering mysteries in the Caribbean sun . . .

The Real Death in Paradise recounts the two years Inspector Richard Preston spent as one of twelve young police officers seconded to the seemingly idyllic Cayman Islands. Who wouldn't love the opportunity to work in a tropical paradise and immerse yourself in the local culture as you sunbathe on the sandy beaches and swim in the crystal clear waters? What could possibly go wrong . . . ?

When faced with the reality of police life in the Caribbean - including smuggling, rescuing turtles and mysterious murders - Richard soon found out that the truth was far more interesting than he ever could have imagined.

Follow Richard's adventures in this murderously enjoyable sun-kissed memoir.
