Coldsleep Lullaby

Stellenbosch, the present. The body of a young woman is found drifting in a river, and Detective Eberard Februarie is called in to investigate the case. A man struggling with his own demons, Eberard discovers secrets that lead him to an underworld of sexual hedonism, to the rotten core of this old university town. Stellenbosch, seventeenth century. Martin van der Keesel's skill as a viticulturist is matched only by his cruelty towards the slaves who worked under him. When he takes an interest in Boorman family, and their young daughter Sanna, evens are set in motion that will ripple through the early colonial society.
