An accident in the Kenyan bush claims the life of Sir David Cooper, the
Director of International Trade and Industry for the British Government -
a man with impeccable credentials and an impressive family history.
Twenty years later at an auction on a remote farm in South Africa, a young woman
discovers two boxes. One, a richly engraved Chinese puzzle box concealing
things the late owner had clearly wanted to remain hidden; the other,
an antique silver box with an intriguing crest.
Jack Taylor, a journalist from London now living in South Africa, and his partner,
ex-detective Piet Joubert once more join forces as they try to untangle the
mysterious and tragic past of the two boxes and the people involved.
Set against the breathtaking beauty of Kenya and South Africa, this is an irresistible
page-turner, laden with unpredictable possibilities. It takes the reader down a trail
of deception, secrets and tragedy, culminating in a single impossible truth and an
unthinkable ending, which even veteran journalist Jack Taylor had not seen coming.
