This book reads like a crime thriller. People are abducted. Others get murdered. There are betrayals and false accusations. There are gripping courtroom scenes and dazzling legal arguments, as Tom Triton wriggles out of his latest crisis.

He’s young and exceedingly wealthy, but as his adventure unfolds, much more is revealed than the twists and turns of an exciting plot. The picture of a country in serious moral crisis emerges to form the backdrop against which the plot is played out. Indeed it mingles freely with the plot. Corrupt act follows corrupt act. Fraudulent collusion between business and elements within the state is exposed.

Finally, the picture is unmistakable: Tom nearly becomes the victim of a corrupt system that he himself has helped to build. He is saved only by a brilliant lawyer and the loyalty of his father’s friend. Which way will Tom jump?

About the Author: This book is written under a pseudonym. John Gosebo is the pen name of a legal academic working at a major South African university.
