Hidden in Full View A Novel Out of Africa

An unsigned painting of an isolated farmhouse in the vastness of the South African Free State, found in a second-hand shop in London, holds the key to what happened there over forty years ago. What could possibly link the painting of an old farmhouse and four girls from Cape Town who disappeared without a trace twenty years later? This sweeping tale is set against the magnificent South African landscape where nothing is ever as it seems. British journalist Jack Taylor and South African ex-detective Piet Joubert follow a frustrating trail until they finally manage to untangle the whole shocking story. The eventual denouement is a case of poetic justice worthy of the appalling crimes themselves.
