Marcia Pullman has been found dead at home in the leafy
suburbs of Bulawayo. Chief Inspector Edmund Dube is
onto the case at once, but it becomes increasingly clear that
there are those, including the dead woman’s husband, who
do not want him asking questions.
The case drags Edmund back into his childhood to when his
mother’s employers disappeared one day and were never
heard from again, an incident that has shadowed his life.
As his investigation into the death progresses, Edmund
realises the two mysteries are inextricably linked and that
unravelling the past is a dangerous undertaking threatening
his very sense of self.
