Synopsis The confessions of a magistrate in a colonial outpost who is ordered to collaborate with brutal torturers. At first he agrees, then rebels, and must pay the price for his refusal.
Industry Reviews "The novel moves between claustrophobic enclosures and arid, exquisitely rendered open spaces that reveal treacherous trap-doors....The book keeps us on edge, uneasy." Newsweek - Walter Clemons (05/31/1982)
"The book makes for compelling reading, largely due to the successful use of the present tense throughout and the vivid presentation of unfolding events." Clemons
