Plot summary

Sarah Barcant, a lawyer in New York City who grew up in South Africa, returns to her childhood dwelling place to intercede for Alex Mpondo, a Black South African politician who was tortured during apartheid. Under the Truth and Reconciliation terms, the whole truth must come out. As it is, under duress Alex had exposed one of his underground comrades, Steve Sizela, although Dirk Henricks, the local policeman, admits the latter was killed by his boss. The bones are found and dug from the ground; Alex decides to suggest amnesty as the whole truth has been said; the police chief, who denied the charges and pleaded not guilty, is sent to prison.
