Work Description
Cooper is dispatched to Jacob's Rest, a remote town deep in the bush, to look into a murder report. Arriving at Old Voster's farm, he finds the white police captain dead face down in a creek. Three of the Afrikaner's sons are present at the scene. Trouble comes when another son, a member of the feared Special Branch, arrives.
