Dead Season is a gripping story of three murders in the tumultuous Negros
Island. While Philip Finch's Sugarland is fiction (see the fiction shelf),
Dead Season is
factual --- yet it reads like a mystery novel.
From the book:
"An engrossing gothic tale, the more amazing because it is factual. Dead Season
captures the texture of the island's hallucinatory sugar baron fiefdoms - a mix of myth
and politics, religion and superstition, rumor and history, from which arise often
inexplicable tragedies." - Ninotchka Rosca, author of Twice Blessed.
