Michael Stone thinks he’s an experienced consultant. But when he’s sent to investigate a case of corruption in South Africa involving a government minister whose department manages national roads projects, he’s thrown into a world of conspiracy and intrigue. While he’s ploughing through official documents, he becomes aware of another storm brewing: the threatened demolition of Alexandra (home to more than 350,000 poor people in the heart of South Africa’s most expensive real estate) with the intention of turning it into executive housing. The residents’ resistance to demolition is met by arson and violence, but behind it all is the one and same minister, who happens also to be chairman of the developers. Michael’s sympathies draw him to the protestors, and he offers to share his Greenpeace skills as an activist to help their cause. Before long, there are threats to his life, and he has to go into hiding. Meanwhile, his efforts to help the residents’ struggle are slow to bear fruit, and his motives for helping them are questioned. Suspicions flare, and his life is threatened by the same people he is trying to help. One thing is sure: it will end badly.

  • Chapter & Verse
    Richard Martin
    Dick Martin’s lawless imagination consumes language at an alarming rate, seemingly heedless of conserving a literary future, and leaving in its wake reality-induced characters like drugs for addicts. ('Come on, let’s get unreal.') Chapter & Verse is addicting, like good reading. The crowd of characters could describe your section for a night game at Fenway: Beau Smith and Zygot...
