This is a massive apartheid thriller centred on a plot to blow up none other than the State President outside the gates of Cape Town Castle. It is also a political thriller, set in South Africa, laced with all the angst and pain and lacerating emotion that comes from attempting to intellectualise, and hence come to terms with, living in that volatile, unnerving, but ultimately fascinating land.
Brink's shifts of viewpoint are thrilling and significant in this story about events that are in the process of becoming news stories.
