When Flip Lochner, a seedy, tired journalist fleeing a failed
marriage, sees a beautiful woman with four breasts in Devil's
Valley, he thinks it's a mirage. But then a man called Lukas Death
stands before him. So begins Lochner's search for "the truth" first
hinted at by a young student in Cape Town who was mysteriously
killed. Lochner meets Lukas Death's clan, where righteousness
prevails by day and depravity by night, where punishment for
misdemeanors is summary, yet brutal murderers walk unscathed.
Nothing in Devil's Valley is as it seems: the supernatural is an
ingredient of every day, the living and the dead are never quite
separate, the grotesque coexists with the banal.
Vibrant and darkly humorous, "Devil's Valley" is splendid
entertainment from a master storyteller.
