"Andrew Brown deftly weaves the unpunished crimes of the past into the troubled fabric of the present in a novel that is part expert police procedural, part clergy for a tainted Eden. A haunting read." Margie Orford, author of the Clare Hart novels

"A beautifully assured whodunit ... The narrative segues between present-day and 17th-century Stellenbosch, until Brown bends the strands together like two electrical wires that flare up in revelation." Michele Magwood, Sunday Times
