Alma Nel leaves her home on the edge of the Kalahari to retrieve the body of her gay son in Amsterdam. Driven by guilt and grief, she resolves to reconstruct Staal's life and the events leading up to his death, undertaking a bizarre quest in a strange and surreal world. Guided by a coke-dealing Rastafarian, Alma opens a psychedelic can of worms, meeting many of Staal's friends and acquaintances: scissor queens, leather men, rent boys, and daredevils. One such friend, Remco de Heer—driven by the need to know whether his own malignant accident-proneness played any part in Staal's death—aids Alma in her quest. Poignant, comical, and suspenseful, this novel is also strangely sexy.
