A Boer Teenager's Worship of His Father Leads Him to Avenge His Death in Unspeakable Ways in New Novel
VENICE, Fla. (PRWEB) April 26, 2019 -- The arrival of an extraordinary African visitor rocks Cholly Bracker's life to the core as secrets are revealed that link his brother's death to a decades-old conspiracy that incriminates local community leaders in Jack Jerome’s new novel, “Jacob’s Dream” (published by Archway Publishing).
In a small Zulu homestead, a Boer teenager, Christiaan Bach, and a 4-year-old Zulu boy, Jacob Otumba, witness a deadly confrontation between their fathers that later incites an act of revenge that scars them both in different ways and dramatically changes the course of their futures. Many years later, in Banner, Texas, Bach has become the city’s most influential citizen and Otumba, now a respected financial consultant, arrives seeking answers to a recurring nightmare that has haunted him since childhood and draws Professor Cholly Bracker and wife Kate into what quickly becomes a perilous quest.
When the Brackers suspect a link between Jacob’s quest and the earlier death of Cholly’s brother, their involvement takes on a whole new dimension and puts their lives at risk in a decades-old conspiracy that involves more than a legacy of hate and has already claimed more than 20 lives.
“It’s not a ‘whodunit.’ The reader knows who did what early on,” Jerome says. “It’s a story about how the relatives of victims search for and discover what the reader already knows, and often make false assumptions along the way.”
