      About This Book

      Abigail Bukula was fifteen when her parents were killed in a massacre of anti-apartheid activists by white security forces. A young soldier spoke up in her defense, and she was spared. Now she's a lawyer with a promising career in the new government, but she's never forgotten Leon Lourens, the soldier who saved her. Twenty years later, he comes to her for help: Someone is killing off members of the team who killed her parents, and Leon is one of two still alive.

      Abigail turns to Yudel Gordon, an eccentric, nearly retired, white prison psychologist, for help. To save Leon's life they must untangle the web of politics, identity, and history before the anniversary of the raid—only days away.
