Publisher's Synopsis
What former senior manager Thomas Bland expects upon his retirement in the seaside city of Durban isn't remotely what he gets. His wife, Caro, leaves him, and he loses friends through betrayal, illness and murder - events that threaten to destroy what little relevance he has left in the world. All the while, socio-political clouds are gathering over South Africa with most of its citizens - including Tom - choosing to ignore them.
