Hendrik is incarcerated after his neighbour’s son was shot. It is alleged that one of his stray bullets had hit the child. The case immediately fuels racial tensions and the local white police detective is keen to prove to the community that he won’t favour this white person after what he had done. Hendrik knows he did not kill the child, but what about that one bullet that has missed his intended target?

Dibi Breytenbach is a legal practitioner and this book is her best yet. People who enjoy John Grisham will be pleased to have a truly South African legal thriller to enjoy.
