Description
A South African journalist, Karen Strydom, is in hiding in the little Indian township of Reoca, in the house once occupied by former journalist and anti-Apartheid activist, Seema Sewlal. Having witnessed the murder of a well-known political donor by successful businessman Paul Sibisi, Karen knows her life is in danger if she tries to publish her account of the incident. That's not her only challenge - the ghost of Seema Sewlal has appeared - and she's unwilling to believe that she is dead. With corruption on all sides, how will Karen survive to tell the truth, and who can she trust?
