About This Item
New York. 1981. September 1981. Pantheon Books. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0394520769. South African Mystery. 224 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Susannah Kelly. Jacket design by Louise Fili. keywords: Mystery South Africa Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER - When Johnny Weizman comes to South African police psychiatrist Yudel Gordon for mandatory treatment he has already killed eight blacks, including a starving fourteen-year-old girl. He claims they were trying to break into his store; and in South Africa, no court ever condemns a white man for defending his property. For Yudel, Weizman is a demented killer and fanatical racist - a man likely to commit more murders unless somebody stops him. For the Special Branch Police, he is a respectable citizen and fearless patriot. They are more interested in Mantu Majola, a fugitive black leader who witnessed Weizman's last murder and who, they hope, will return to avenge it. The case leads Yudel far into the brutal violence of South African society - to the no-man's land of black Soweto; to a terrifying meeting of Afrikaner rightists; and to the unspeakable horror of a security police jail where Majola's girlfriend is being tortured. In DIVIDE THE NIGHT, Ebersohn's second Yudel Gordon mystery, we are swept into a chilling world in which the law is in the hands of the lawless and Yudel is in as much danger as the people he is trying to protect. inventory #2113 ISBN: 0394520769.
