The quest for an elusive amphibian in the mountains of violence-torn Haiti brings together an unlikely pair of hunters–American herpetologist Victor Grigg and his Haitian guide, Thierry Adrien–whose individual stories unfold and intertwine in a mesmerizing tale of love, sex, and fraternal rivalry; of the propagation and extinction of species in the natural world; and of the mysterious forces of nature that govern the fate of all living creatures.
In the Palm of Darkness is a compelling tale that reads like a murder mystery but also reveals a highly sophisticated and refined literary voice.
