And sure, the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago has sun, sea, beaches, the whole tourist schtick. But this southernmost country in the Caribbean archipelago is filled with paradoxes. She isn't always the idyllic tropical dream. Far from it. Sometimes she's a nightmare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Trinidad Noir, you'll trail the country's criminals, her prostitutes, her officious bureaucrats, her police, her ordinary citizens. Expect to be intrigued. Expect to be entertained. But don't expect to understand Trinidad . . . Set in the various parts of the country, these stories reflect the island in all her contradictions. As you turn the pages, you will experience a nation like no other. See for yourself, but bear in mind: there's nothing a Trini won't do for you, and there's nothing a Trini won't do to you.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781933354552\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.3 Inches, Length: 5.3 Inches, Weight: 0.79807338844 Pounds, Width: 0.7 Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Allen-Agostini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53801827500339,"sku":"9781933354552","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/9613483482876.jpg?v=1785981841","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/trinidad-noir","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
