The Soldier Who Said No
When a Bushman arrow is used in an assassination attempt on the New Zealand Prime Minister, South African bush war veteran Pierre de Villiers, who works for the International Crimes Unit in Auckland, seems to be a logical link, but also a suspect. Suffering from cancer and suspended, disgruntled de Villiers has seen similar arrows made by !Xau, a Bushman with whom he had to flee from Angola in 1985 after refusing to follow orders during a Military Intelligence operation. Now de Villiers is forced to return to South Africa to treat his cancer, find the origin of the arrow and face his own uncertain past.
