This is a slim paperback.

'I know it all started in Jo'burg when I killed Philemon Majodena, or maybe even earlier than that, when I was born into my white skin. But when I got to this country I thought all the blood I spilled was left behind. No way, man! That trouble followed me here like a pack of starving hyenas'

Teenager Selwyn Lewis emigrates from South Africa to England with his family. He hopes to escape his guilty past, but is unable to settle or make friends because of his rigid, white South African attitudes. His parents are too absorbed in their own lives to notice that Selwyn's crisis is reaching breaking point.....

This is the story of 15 year old Selywyn who has recently moved to Bristol from South Africa. He has a hard time adjusting to the different culture, to school and to making friends.

Apart from having to deal with the disintegration of his family, he has a dark secret he's holding on to. The pressure build and eventually things come to a head.
