Something In Your Eyes / Babele

Why does a world-famous woman ask down-and-out private investigator Harry Mann to find her missing daughter, Angela? What do they see in each other's eyes? And why is anyone who has anything to do Angela ending up dead?

What posessed concert pianist, Hari Manze, to accept an invitiation to perform at Babele, a half built luxury hotel in the Kgalagadi desert that is actually an ex-president's vision of building a tower of Babel up to his brother, Christ? Why has he prepared a feast for everyone who has betrayed him and why can't Hari help but feel attracted to that troublemaker, Siya Khoza?

Is there still a place for such notions as love, decency and democracy under these conditions? These are some of the questions Sonnekus adresses with his dark sense of humour and close to the bone prose.
