One afternoon, a twelve-year-old girl goes missing near her village. The local police tell her mother and the villagers she has been taken by a wild animal. Five years later, young government employee Amantle Bokaa finds a box bearing the label ‘Neo Kakang; CRB 45/94’. It contains evidence of human involvement in the affair. So begins an illegal and undercover struggle for justice and retribution.

Botswanan High Court Judge Unity Dow’s second novel is a gripping story of how groups of ‘little people’ come together to identify the prime suspects’ the ‘big men’ who are beneath contempt, but above the law.

‘Frank, vibrant and ironic, the novel, given its setting in the 1990s, is disturbing to say the least’ – Veronica Sen, Canberra Times

‘Dow’s writing is elegant and cadenced – she has the kind of earthy immediacy that transports you into her world and keeps you there’ – Cameron Woodhead – The Age
