About this book

"Too Late the Phalarope is the story of a young white South African police lieutenant, idolized in his community, who violates one of the strictest laws of that country governing the relationship between white and black. It is a portrayal of the desperate struggle within himself of a conscience-striken man, a story told with almost unbearable suspense ..." *** "After violating his country's strictest law governing relationships between the races, a young white South African police lieutenant must struggle alone against the censure of the intolerant society that refuses to forgive his crime."
