Leo’s Life

While Leo lies in hospital, hearing mysterious drum beats and dreaming of gold and strange faces, people all over Cape Town are trying to find him. Why do they want him? Who will find him first? Will it be the evil men on motorbikes who work for ‘The Boss’? Or will it be his anxious friends: the girl Manala and others from the community of people selling their craft from Greenmarket Square? The story, which builds to a thrilling climax, draws us into a world of stolen African treasure and the heroism of ordinary people who live on the edges of society.
