This is the second novel in the Harry Mason-Jacob Tshabalala series. It delves heavily into South Africa's history as the largest exporter of asbestos. A retired mining magnet is brutally murdered one night, and it is up to Harry Mason and Jacob Tshabalala to discover why. The evil they uncover in Johannesburg and a dusty forgotten town, is something they're wholly unprepared for.
