The Calypso Killing

Announcing a new Deca original:

The Calypso Killing

As a drug war rages across the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, assassins target star prosecutor Dana Seetahal in a midnight ambush. The nation is shocked by the crime, and soon whispers of conspiracy point to Colombian drug cartels, Venezuelan arms smugglers, and a local religious community with a secret political agenda. The Calypso Killing, by Deca cofounder Tom Zoellner, is an inquiry into the life of an extraordinary person and a portrait of the country she died for: a true crime story that takes you into the back streets of a Caribbean outsiders rarely see. Starting today, the story is available for download on phones, Kindles, iPads, and any Web browser.
