Description
"In a small, dusty, South African town, three people, returning after many years away, are about to meet their past. Successful prosecutor Sarah Barcant leaves New York to help Ben, her mentor and inspiration, with one last case. Dirk Hendricks is being driven, handcuffed, to the police station in Smitsrivier where he was previously a deputy, there to meet his former prisoner, the man he tortured, Alex Mpondo.". "These three are drawn by the Truth Commission like a magnet back into their pasts, setting the stage for the moment of collision. But the real truth will be felt in the wings: in the fatal strain in a marriage, in the violated memory of a sweet son, and in a victim's understanding of his own complicity."--BOOK JACKET.
