“Daar is spore doodgevee. Iemand het die opdrag gegee vir wat met daai vyf moet gebeur. En ek wil weet wie.”
Daar is raaisels wat spook by Wim Kellerman, twee jaar ná die dood van Jack Niemand. Hy en Portis praat min daaroor waar hulle woel in die kweekhuis van Wim se skoenlapperboerdery op Wildernis. Maar dit bly sluimer tussen hulle. Want wat het geword van Portis se vyf jeugvriende wat in daai verskriklike jare van die tagtigs vermis geraak het? En hoekom is die lyke van Simon Pope, die destydse hoof van Bon Accord, en sy vrou, Rachel, nooit geïdentifiseer nie?
Al manier is om terug te loop op die spoor, voetjie vir voetjie. In sy beendere weet Wim sy ou aartsvyand Simon Pope lewe nog. Dis maklik om twee en twee bymekaar te sit, so hy koop ’n kaartjie Kanada toe, kwansuis vir skoenlappersoektogte. En gaan soek die meesterbrein agter die verdwyning van vyf kinders van die Kaapse Vlakte. Kry, sal hy hom kry. Dis ’n lewenstaak – vir Portis, en vir Wim.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
