Gritty, poignant, and touching are all words that describe this excellent novella.  The story is about an incarcerated assassin who has lost his taste for blood and is reluctantly paroled to a life of poverty and filth. In his first job as a gardener, he meets a little girl who has been sexually abused by her father. he must make a choice whether to fight to save her or do the safe thing and ignore the abuse.It is written in a South African dialect which makes the characters and the action seem even more real. This novella caught my attention right from the start and didn't let go until the very end. I would most highly recommend this work to anyone looking for a captivating read that grabs hold of you and won't let go!
