About this listen
ʼn Egte, diep menslike Weskusroman deur die gewilde kortverhaalskrywer E. Kotze. Toring langs die Weskus is 'n afgeleë gehuggie waar 'n hand vol bewoners sukkel-sukkel 'n bestaan probeer maak. Dis midde-in die Tweede Wêreldoorlog en tye is swaar. ʼn Verwoestende storm wat twee dae en nagte duur vernietig die kreeffabriek en jettie heeltemal en alles moet van nuuts af opgerig word. Min weet die drie steunpilare op die dorp, Smittie Steyn, Kerneels Koch en Ockert Blankenberg, dat die storm 'n nuwe era op Toring ingelei het, dat húlle Toring nooit weer sal wees soos dit was nie. "Kotze ken en verstaan 'n vissersgemeenskap en die see net so goed soos Steinbeck. Ek glo 'n waaragtige goeie storie kan iets in 'n mens verander. Nooit weer sal die leë visfabrieke en daardie ouens met die gladde monde onder die bloekombome voor die Paternoster Hotel vir my dieselfde wees nie." - Dana Snyman

Story
Stella Bennet van die plaas Ommekeer het drie dogters—en hulle het probleme. Niemand sal Julia glo dat sy in haar huwelik verbaal mishandel word nie. Niemand sal begryp dat Pauli verlief is op die verkeerde man nie. Veral aangesien sy so ’n verstandige man aan haar sy het. Niemand sal ooit weet hoe broos Teresa is nie. Want sy is hierdie hardekwas advokaat wat geen man nodig het nie.

Vyf vreemdelinge kry ’n aanbod: Gaan hou ’n maand lank vakansie op ’n afgesonderde eiland. Die beloning? Vir elk ’n bedrag wat steier aan die nulle. Die weldoener? ’n Anonieme, eksentrieke miljoenêr en eienaar van Drakeneiland. Aanvanklik ’n avontuur, weldra ’n nagmerrie in die hart van die hel – dis Gasheer van Drakeneiland. Wat soek ’n laboratorium in ’n grot in die middel van nêrens? Wie is hul gesiglose gasheer wat net ’n stem oor ’n luidspreker bly?

Teen die einde van die negentiende eeu kom 'n middeljarige besoeker uit Europa in die binneland van Suid-Afrika aan. Versluis is 'n afsydige, aristokratiese Nederlander wat na Bloemfontein kom om van tering te herstel. Hy verken die vreemde land en doen algaande kennis en begrip op van dít wat tot dusver vir hom vreemd was. Dit word ook, uiteindelik, 'n voorbereiding op die onafwendbare einde van die reis: die dood.

En met sy eie oë sién ook, in kolonel Daniels se kantoor by die Nuweland-stasie. Kassie het juis ’n ander werksaanbod gehad.... En dan moet dit natuurlik só kom dat hy in die middel van sy loopbaankrisis teen die grieseligste moordenaar nóg te staan kom. Die Pion se moordloopbaan het tentakels wat terugstrek na die Apartheidsera, met moderner euwels soos die Afrika-handel in vervalste medikasie wat ook Kassie se aandag verg.

Hierdie aangrypende roman oor ’n ongeletterde Nama-vrou van die Richtersveld speel af in die 1950’s. Katryn Jonis word van moord aangekla, maar sy kom agter die pro deo advokaat glo nie in haar onskuld nie en besluit dan om haar eie verdediging in die hof te behartig. Die vindingryke en berekende wyse waarop die reguit en passievolle Katryn die waarheid uit die staat se getuies in die hof trek, boei die leser deurgaans. Daar is baie vrae: Wie het dan die moord gepleeg, en hoekom?

Janien was op die oog af geliefd, 'n suksesvolle kunstenaar met 'n slag vir besigheid, en op die punt om met haar universiteitsliefde te trou. Was dit selfdood of moord? Waarom is die toneel om haar liggaam so sorgvuldig, amper kunstig, gerangskik? En hoekom is haar rekenaar se geheue voor die tyd so sorgvuldig skoongevee?
