Description
A man with no name stumbles down a desolate stretch of road in rural South Africa, driven by exhaustion and hunger. He is desperate to escape his past, but the law is relentless. When a minister offers him help at a steep price, he takes it, stealing the minister's identity and finding temporary refuge in a township. However, when a body is discovered in a nearby quarry, the hunt for the fugitive reignites with devastating consequences. As the police close in, the man's fragile hold on his new life begins to slip away. This gripping novel explores the complexities of human survival and the unforgiving landscape of rural South Africa.
