The Truth About Anton Van Zyl

Motis a big wheel in Port Elizabeth and thats not just because the suits who run City Hall hang on his every word. But Motis got a problem. His not-so-favourite son-in-law has gone AWOL. And that matters because his daughter is distraught, or so he tells rich but mentally troubled PI Sol Nemo. Sol takes the case but soon faces complications because of Antons missing wife and pregnant girlfriend. Soon too, the outline of a major conspiracy starts to unfold involving various parties including an unsettling interest from State Security. Sol comes to realise its dangerous to pursue enquiries when his every move is being watched. By then though, Sols motivation has become personal. You see theres an obligation to a young woman whos literally been scared to death and one also to some of the Eastern Capes most disadvantaged citizens who are being ruthlessly exploited. All in all, its a confusing picture and thats to say nothing of the absent Anton who remains out of sight until suddenly he needs Sols help. Its only then the truth emerges, but is it the truth and nothing but, or is it some version of it designed to beguile and deceive?
