A stirring and compelling story, full of adventure, set against the background of the move to freedom in Africa. In the face of opposition, hatred, violence and death, the gentler human feelings of friendship and love are nonetheless maintained. Joseph Mahoney is the last Colonial Commissioner in the Kariba Gorge, faced with easing the transition to new rule. To complicate matters, his servant Samson has been accused of murder, and he is drifting apart from Suzie, whom he loves very deeply. Yet personal matters apart, he must deal with the simmering undercurrent of violence and revenge that might envelope the countryside at any moment.
Called to the Bar, he was appointed an assistant public prosecutor in the Magistrate¿s Courts during the troubled years leading up to Rhodesiäs Unilateral Declaration of Independence, before becoming Crown Counsel in the Attorney General¿s Chambers.
