About This Book
A lonely Place to Die
(a Yudel Gordon novel)
Book description:
Ebersohn’s first Yudel Gordon Novel.
A prominent politician’s son dies after eating poisonous mushrooms and an obviously mad black servant is convicted. But prison psychiatrist Yudel Gordon refuses to accept the official case – with good reason
In a dangerous move to prove the innocence of the terrified man he travels to a remote country town, a closed and fearful society – and interviews relatives, friends and local police.
He encounters hostility – and when he gets too close to the truth his life is threatened.
After being savagely beaten and enduring some hellish hours of pursuit in the veld, he comes up with the shocking – and inevitable – solution.
“A brilliant book” – DAILY TELEGRAPH
“Brilliantly evoking South African society.” – WASHINGTON POST
“Mr Ebersohn’s prison psychologist hero is just the man to save an underdog from going under: a most original hero in a setting tylor-made for him. Of whom we must have more, much more.”
- ANTHONY PRICE
