Durban, South Africa, 1953. Forced to resign from his position of Detective Sergeant and re-classified as "mixed race" after an incident involving a young black woman, Emmanuel Cooper winds up powerless and alone in the tough coastal city of Durban, mixing labouring with surveillance work for his old boss, Major van Niekerk. Patrolling the freight yards one night, he stumbles upon the body of a young white boy and the detective in him cannot, or will not , walk away. When tow more bodies- this time an older English woman and her maid-are discovered at his boarding house, he unwittingly becomes the prime suspect in a triple murder case. Trade paperback ed 2010
