<p>One Friday evening Daniel de Luc, an elusive crime writer with a deep love of poetry, disappears from a Camps Bay apartment while cooking pasta. His wife Paola, desperately worried after days of hearing nothing, is contacted by an eccentric stranger who claims to have known her missing husband under a different name and warns her not to look for him. Paola soon learns that her husband was involved in the shadowy world of the international sex industry, where well-heeled women pay men to become the anonymous fathers of their children. As her neat, controlled existence is turned inside out, Paola struggles to keep a level head and find her own humanity while trying to outwit her enemies and stay alive. The result is a fast-paced thriller that shifts between Cape Town and Paris, blending realism with the fantastic and pitting love against the attraction of sexual adventure.</p>

"Once upon a time there lived a man who was born the son of a mortician. In this small matter of the choice of a suitable father no choice was given to him. This at least is true of every man. No man chooses his father."Anthony Loxton, reluctant third-generation funeral director by day, is by night Tony the Fox, a guitarist in the bars of Kalk Bay. It looks like there's no escape from the burden of the past. But when Tony's one-night stand, Lily, arrives in a body bag at the Loxton Funeral Parlour, he surprises himself by breaking his own rules.In this charming, complex and often moving story, we follow Anthony Loxton as he poignantly struggles to come to terms with himself, the living and the dead, and, indeed, death itself. The Good Cemetery Guide received an honourable mention from the English Academy. Judges described the book as 'an intensely readable creation of story and character'.
