![]() A lesser officer gives Barry what he says is a jackal's skull that has been enchanted by a witch, and tells him to use it to put a good fright into the threesome. Barry, the son of a high-ranking local police officer, takes to bullying the three younger kids: first verbally, but then onto bigger and better things, like a horsewhip, and like taking them briefly captive and forcing them to take a puff of marijuana. Janet's older sister is still into mystical witchy things, and this time wants to tell fortunes by tarot, using only the Greater Trumps. On a horseback ride, the three see something that the police do not want them to see. This is going to be pretty disjointed, because to summarize in a more connected way, I would nearly have to type in the whole book. It is now the Christmas holiday, which is summer in South Africa, and Jeffery and Catherine return from their various homes to Eerstelling, where they are soon reunited with their friend Janet. and this is Stephen Hayes's most recent novel, a direct sequel to _Of Wheels and Witches_. ![]()
