Veteran journalist and highly acclaimed author Peter Abrahams is dead.
He reportedly died at his home in St Andrew on Wednesday morning (January 18).
Abrahams, who was from South Africa, settled in Jamaica in the 1950’s after living in Europe for over a decade.

His cause of death has not yet been ascertained.
