Boi Boi is Dead

Boi Boi is Dead

Work:: Boi Boi is Dead (S165972103)

Afro-jazz legend, father, lover, playboy, husband, rule-breaker, enigmatic force of nature... Boi Boi is dead. But not forgotten. Left alone to rebuild her life, Miriam's heartache is interrupted when Boi Boi's reckless ex-wife Stella and traditionalistic brother show up to stake their claim on his name, on his property and to revel in the glory of his fame. Determined to keep her family together, Miriam's life is thrown into turmoil when Stella discovers the secret she shared only with Boi Boi. With a new found power, will the beguiling Stella be triumphant in the face of Boi Boi's death?
