Abigail Bukula, a dedicated young lawyer, embarks on a desperate mission to rescue her cousin, the secret son of her deceased aunt, who is imprisoned by the Zimbabwean government. Accused of being involved with the Harare Seven, he faces dire conditions as a political prisoner. Abigail's determination drives her, but her naivety may complicate her efforts in navigating the perilous political landscape of Zimbabwe.
Set against the backdrop of post-apartheid South Africa, the narrative follows Abigail Bukula, who survived a massacre as a child and now serves as a lawyer. Haunted by her past, she is drawn back into the tragedy when Leon Lourens, a soldier from that fateful day, seeks her help to uncover a conspiracy targeting those responsible for her parents' deaths. Together with an unconventional prison psychologist, they race against time to unravel a complex web of politics and history before the approaching anniversary of the raid.
Dva detektívne príběhy spája postava amatérskeho vyšetrovateľa - psychológa správy väzníc Yudela Gordona. Ten sa pri svojom pátraní dostane do konfliktu s úradmi a prívržencami aparteidu, ktorí tvoria väčšinu belošského obyvateľstva Juhoafrickej republiky. V prvnom príbehu má v istom vidieckom väzení preskúmať, či farebný sluha, ktorý údajne zavraždil svojho pána, je za svoj čin zodpovedný. Druhý román je príbeh vyšinutého človeka; vzrušujúci dej má prekvapujúce rozuzlenie.
