John Crow's Devil by Marlon James
In a small, drought-stricken Jamaican community, the uneasy peace maintained by the local pastor shatters when a charismatic, fanatical preacher arrives, setting off a brutal struggle for spiritual and social control; the clash unleashes violence, superstition, and repressed desire, revealing the corrosive effects of power, vengeance, and religious extremism on ordinary lives.
