Synopsis
This legal thriller offers an insider's perspective on the triumphs and failures of the law. After taking up the case of an assaulted teenager, an up-and-coming lawyer must face manipulative opponents and an unreliable judge to fight for what she believes is right. An uncompromising exposé on the ways in which the law can sometimes fail, this novel acts as a homage to the sights and sounds of everyday life in Botswana.

Naledi Chaba's caseload is bulging with stories of rape and abuse. So when she takes on the case of a 15-year-old girl who has been raped by the lodger, she's on a familiar battleground, involving her own peers. And it's not only JJ, her silk-shirt-wearing, cigar-smoking legal opponent, who's happy to avoid taking moral responsibility. Justice Mmung, the High Court Judge hearing the case, has secrets in his past. It's yet another example of hypocrisy in high places, and she's tired of it.
