Book Details

.Genius, power, money, crime and politics will not be stopped by a hurricane.

Jamaica has the dubious reputation of producing some of the most cunning people anywhere. Immorality however may be quite another matter. A not too recent research study showed that the Jamaican with the highest IQ was on death row. For many years the Jamaican economy has been stymied by a crime wave that simply refuses to go away. It is generally accepted that crime is the biggest deterrent to economic development in Jamaica. When seven year-old Dennis Pearce solved high school mathematical problems the future for him should have been quite predictable…An upper class home, an educational system steeped in tradition and excellence facing a society inundated with criminal gangs operating at the highest levels along with inept and corrupt policing. Will genius give way to practical reality, or is it morality?
