A clapped-out crime reporter makes the perilous journey from
modern-day Cape Town through the mountains to Devil's Valley. He
finds an anachronistic, inbred community ruled by magic and
superstition, in which women are subjugated, thieves and
adulteresses executed, yet violent and horrific crimes go
unpunished. The villagers are hiding a monstrous secret. As their
buried history forces its way to the surface, the body count grows
to Jacobean proportions. Skilfully mingling plain narrative and
allegory, Brink shows how easily closed minds and societies can
implode. (Kirkus UK)
Flip Lochner is a weary and disillusioned newspaper crime reporter. Curious to find out more about the origins of a casual acquaintance, he descends into Devil's Valley where, like Dante's Virgil, he encounters a bewildering array of mysterious characters and events that lead him to reevaluate the world in which he lives and which he thought he knew. Fusing invention and reality, magic realism and earthy humour, Lochner's adventures in the valley centre around the journey he undertakes to discover the truth about the elusive and erotic figure of Emma, one of Brink's most remarkable creations.
