Dit is byna vier dekades ná Toorberg. Met ’n onverwagte trein kom Magistraat Imker Goedeman (wat destyds as jong man die afarmmagistraat van Toorberg, Abraham van der Ligt, in die gange van Bellville se landdroshof raakgeloop het) aan op Gebeente, ’n klein dorpie op die Vergete Grootpad noord van Sutherland. Die omgewing is geruk deur ’n opspraakwekkende plaasmoord, maar ’n nog komplekser saak moet ondersoek word: die diefstal van die melkweg...
Ons is hier in die buurt van onwaarskynlikhede en eindelik word die ganse regstelsel uitgedaag.
Historie, mite en allegorie word sjarmant verweef in dié meeleurende, fassinerende roman, en eindelik voer Etienne van Heerden sy kenmerkende magiese realisme die verste in sy hele oeuvre.
Sedert die dag toe die maan deur ’n asteroïde getref is, weet almal dat dit onafwendbaar is: dis die begin van die Einde.
Tog gaan die lewe op Dennehoop eintlik ongesteurd voort. Maar dan verdwyn Stegman, die makelaar wat alewig versekering aan almal probeer verkwansel, spoorloos.
En terwyl Kaptein Emma Rosely die saak ondersoek, kom sy agter dat die inwoners van Dennehoop ’n klomp geheime vir mekaar wegsteek.

Taylor Kitsch and Brendan Gleeson star in this comedy drama
directed by Don McKellar. The community of the small harbour
village of Tickle Head in Newfoundland is in urgent need of
employment. Since the need for fishermen has rapidly decreased over
the years, the majority of the people have been out of work. When
news reaches the mayor of Tickle Head that there are talks of
opening a petrochemical factory in the village, the people set out
to do everything they can to make it happen; the only problem is
that there is a condition in place that states they must have a
resident doctor. When young doctor Paul Lewis (Kitsch) is caught by
airport security with cocaine, the mayor of Tickle Head sees an
opportunity and tells him that there will be no charges made but he
must stay in the village to serve as their doctor for one month.
Plans are made to get every member of the community to try their
hardest to make him stay.
ohnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush star in this Disney swashbuckler based on the theme-park's rides. When Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), the daughter of Governor Swann (Jonathan Pryce), is kidnapped by Captain Barbarossa (Geoffrey Rush) and his band of pirates, love-lorn Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) goes to her rescue. However, he needs help to get on board the pirates' ship, The Black Pearl, and enlists ship captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp).
But they are up against more than just sword-swinging pirates; the crew of the Black Pearl are cursed to spend their time between the living and the dead and only the blood of Elizabeth can break the curse. Will and Sparrow have therefore to overcome the undeadly crew and rescue the governor's daughter and this culminates in a special-effects-laden sword fight between Sparrow and Barbarossa.
Prokureur Ian Brand stuur ’n ondeurdagte twiet die kuberruim in en sy
lewe word oornag pure hel. Thuli Khumalo, studenteaktivis op 'n
kampus wat stink na petrol en traangas, moet kies tussen
vaderverraad of haar beginsels versaak. Snaar Windvogel, vroeër
van Matjiesfontein, is nou in transisie onder die lem van ’n
enigmatiese plastiese chirurg. En al hoe gereelder slaan ’n
kruisboogmoordenaar in die Moederstad toe . . .
Hierdie en vele
ander fassinerende karakters bevolk ’n landskap waarin die enigste
sekerheid ónsekerheid is. Want Etienne van Heerden se tergend
aktuele nuwe roman sê veel oor die tyd waarin ons lewe, waar
privaatheid en identiteit abstrakte begrippe geword het, fopnuus
ononderskeibaar van die werklikheid, en “die waarheid” klaarblyklik ’n
onhaalbare ideaal.
