  The author is a South African, heir to 300 years of white rule, yet at the same time a man at odds with the rockspider tyranny of his Afrikaner people, a stranger in the South Africa they have created. This is the author's exploration of the horror that lies at the core of a society gone wrong. It is not about South African politics, or history, but about darkness, primordial passions, ecstasy, blood, violence, wraiths and demons in the white consciousness, and similar unspeakable things.

  Malan, former South African crime reporter, searches for the truth behind apartheid, and finds it not in the way blacks and whites live, but in the way they die at one another's hands.
