Description
The world around them is rapidly changing: the horrors of the Belgian Congo are becoming known and the flow of its once-fabulous wealth is drying up. Unrest flares unstoppably into violence.
Frere's coming trial will seek to determine considerably more than the killing of a child. But at the heart of this conflict lies a secret so dark so unimaginable that one man must be willingly destroyed by his possession of it and the other must both sanction and participate in that destruction.
'More disturbing even than Conrad in his depiction of the heart of darkness . . . it will be surprising if this year sees a more disturbing or haunting novel' Peter Kemp Sunday Times
'Relentless . . . an impressive and disturbing work of art' Robert Nye Literary Review
'Edric describes a compelling plot in fine spare prose' David Isaacson Daily Telegraph
