Homeland is the number one bestseller
by Karin Brynard, author of Weeping Waters and Our
Fathers
Captain Albertus Beeslaar has had
enough of the Kalahari. He is about to hand in his resignation, but before
doing so, he is sent into the heart of an ancient San community: an elder has
died after being released from police custody and the San blame the police.
The small town of Witdraai borders on
the world-famous Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where the last of the Kalahari
San eke out a living. A violent attack on a German tourist has unsettled the
whole town – a case that is rubbing up Beeslaar’s new colleague, Colonel
Koekoes Mentoor, the wrong way. She wants to turn her back on Witdraai and the
bad memories the place holds for her.
As the heat rises,
all hell breaks loose: a policeman is murdered; deep-seated corruption is
threatening a major land-restitution plan for the San; and a mysterious killer
is prowling the red dunes. Amid all the controversy, Kytie Rooi, a cleaner at a
luxury guesthouse in Upington and self-appointed protector of a strange streetchild,
is fleeing into the deadly heat of the desert with her charge. In this world,
places of safety are dangerously elusive.
