WEEPING WATERS (PLAASMORD)

UJ Debut Prize for Creative Writing (2010) M-Net Film Award (2010) Inspector Albertus Beeslaar has had enough of the brutality of crime in murder capital Johannesburg. He hopes to find peace and quiet in a small town on the outskirts of the Great Kalahari. But his hopes are shattered by the gruesome double murder on a farm. And soon Beeslaar has much more to deal with than a “simple farm murder”, beginning with a ruthless stock theft syndicate, African black magic, an ancient land claim that fuels the already explosive political climate in which a white supremacist vigilante group is thriving. The violence soon escalates beyond control. And what to make of the secret messages hidden in the paintings of the murder victim?
