The country of South Africa feels that it is beleaguered on all sides during the height of the Apartheid era.
Innocent young Englishman Ralph meets Elanza an heiress who has been made blind due to a disease. Elanza is politically well connected and she is seeking love.
Ralph suddenly realises that he has come across a massive South African secret.
Ralph vanishes whilst walking home in the midst of the continent and the only black secret agent employed by the National Intelligence Service, becomes involved in their lives.
It is the official mission of Angel Rots to use his unique skills to find Ralph. But does he have a hidden agenda? An old score to settle? If so, with whom?
He follows Ralph from Cape Town all the way to Cairo. Ralph always seems to be one step beyond Rots and so Rots begins to question what, exactly, is happening?
Why is Ralph considered to be worthy of all this attention? What does Ralph know that is so important?
As a good secret agent, Rots knows how to seek out information. But what Rots discovers shocks him to his very core. It's something so huge that his loyalties and his beliefs are challenged. It's a secret that is so big that it could change the course of history.
The novel is well written and well researched. The characters, including minor characters, are all well drawn and depicted as sympathetically as possible.
It is published by Matador at £9.99.
