A surprising, electric book’ IRISH TIMESAnthony Fennell, a writer, has travelled to Cape Town to find and board the Georges Lecointe, a cable repair vessel. Fennell is quickly captivated by the ship's Chief of Mission, the mysterious, charismatic John Conway - and his beautiful partner, Zanele. But as the boat embarks along the west coast of Africa, the mission falters - and Conway is thrown into crisis. When he disappears, Fennell must set out to find him. His investigation will bring him face-to-face with the darkest contradictions of the human heart - and force him to confront the possibility that the ties that bind us might be better off broken. As taut and propulsive as a thriller, and a timeless exploration of narrative and truth, Twist is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his powers.
