Description
It is 1975, and Simon Gresham has one ambition: to drive an ageing Land Rover from London to Cape Town with his best friend Rob and two young women they barely know. What begins as the adventure of a lifetime soon becomes something far more dangerous. As they cross Africa and push south towards Zambia and Rhodesia, the travellers begin to realise that secrets are travelling with them. Someone has been watching their progress since Europe. One of their companions is not who she claims to be. And Simon’s cousin Sally, a Cape Town journalist, has disappeared while investigating a powerful businessman with links to the illegal arms trade. Their search draws them deeper into a world of surveillance, political violence, guerrilla warfare and Cold War intrigue. At the centre of it lies Colonel Joshua Ovimbi, a rebel commander with his own reasons for revenge — and a secret place from Simon and Sally’s childhood that may hold the evidence everyone is searching for. Inspired by Richard Gregory’s real 1975 overland journey from London to Cape Town, The Dugong Place is a historical adventure thriller about friendship, loyalty, betrayal and survival against the turbulent backdrop of a changing Africa.
