Twintig jaar ná die Hardskip. Dié wat oor is in die Wes-Kaap is gelooi deur die groot honger toe al die oeste misluk het, deur die stof en die gluur van die son.

Op Kylemore wonder Ampersand wat geword het van Wakinyan, die swarthaar- man wat als kom deurmekaarroer het. Hier’s min vir haar oor ná haar ouma se dood, so sy vat die pad – met haar sade. Sy moet vir Wakinyan vind, en sy moet sorg dat die saad nie in Meconium – hulle wat alle saad wil beheer – se hande val nie, want plantsaad is in 2081 ’n streng taboe en Amper se grootste las.

Maar juis in Meconium moet sy gaan soek, waar high-tech shit en high-shit tech vennote is. Amper en haar unieke neus wat die groot stof kan deurtas moet haar pad voel-voel baan deur die stank van dié regime.

"Exceedingly entertaining." -The New York Times "Umbrella Academy meets Tana French. Dark, claustrophobic, and beautifully written." -Andrea Bartz, author of We Were Never Here From the author of The Winter Sister and Behind the Red Door, a family obsessed with true crime gathers to bury their patriarch-only to find another body already in his grave. At twenty-six, Dahlia Lighthouse is haunted by her upbringing. Raised in a secluded island mansion deep in the woods and kept isolated by her true crime-obsessed parents, she is unable to move beyond the disappearance of her twin brother, Andy, when they were sixteen. After several years away and following her father's death, Dahlia returns to the house, where the family makes a gruesome discovery: buried in their father's plot is another body-Andy's, his skull split open with an ax. Dahlia is quick to blame Andy's murder on the serial killer who terrorized the island for decades, while the rest of her family reacts to the revelation in unsettling ways. Her brother, Charlie, pours his energy into creating a family memorial museum, highlighting their research into the lives of famous murder victims; her sister, Tate, forges ahead with her popular dioramas portraying crime scenes; and their mother affects a cheerfully domestic facade, becoming unrecognizable as the woman who performed murder reenactments for her children. As Dahlia grapples with her own grief and horror, she realizes that her eccentric family, and the mansion itself, may hold the answers to what happened to her twin.
