When the new principal of a once-illustrious school in the rural Eastern Cape disappears, journalist Nix Mniki goes in search of her. Boniswa, the missing woman, had arrived at Girdwood College five months earlier, determined to restore the school to its former glory and to empower children from the destitute community. Born of Xhosa and German parentage and raised in a privileged household, Nix is ignorant of the impact of the education crisis on people’s lives. But as she becomes embroiled in the mystery of Boniswa’s disappearance, she faces a sinister world of corruption, manipulation and violence, as well as revelations about her own family. Boniswa, she discovers, may not have disappeared voluntarily. Finders Weepers is a chilling, intelligent crime thriller.
