Summary:

The dazzling follow-up to Toby Ball's acclaimed period thriller, The
Vaults, takes us back to his dystopian City, fifteen years
later...Journalist Frank Frings rouses Lieutenant Piet Westermann in
the middle of the night with an unusual request: move the body of a
dead blonde from where she was found on the bank of a river near the
utopian Uhuru Community, a Negro shantytown under threat from a
deadly coalition of racists and anti-communists -- and find out how
the body actually got there. As the investigation deepens,
complicated by a string of possibly related deaths and
disappearances, and ever-more-heated racial, religious and political
factors come to bear, Westermann’s rationalist worldview is
challenged by the ecstatic religious experiences he encounters in the
Community, led by the charismatic Father Wome. All the while, Frank
Frings works to stay ahead of a more venal journalist competitor to
salvage the Uhuru Community’s reputation before its enemies can
achieve its final destruction.
