The Powder of One

Simon Sayer discovers a plastic blue drum bobbing in the surf near the beach at Mariner’s Cove. He fishes it out. It contains thirty bricks of cocaine each weighing one kilogram. Faced with several choices, Simon impulsively decides to keep half of the find. It’s a decision which runs counter to Simon’s law abiding nature.

To ease his conscience, he makes an anonymous phone call to the police to report having spotted a suspicious blue drum on the beach. This is a life changing mistake which will cause a host of weird, wacky characters to cross Simon's path. These include the Drug Cartel's investigators, "Father" Spider Biti and "Brother" Max Payne, who are not afraid to resort to offer a choice of "Confession" or the "Last Rites" to those they believe can assist their cause.

Simon Sayer's wedding to the daughter of Cape Town millionaire Sander Castle, was always going to be spoken about for some time. Abby Castle's mother, Brigitte Castle, spared no expense to guarantee this.

However, whenever the wedding came up in conversation, it always elicited the same question. Did they catch the unidentified scoundrel who had committed that unforgivable misdeed? - Nay let's call it crime, for that is what it was!

An amusing tale which is so odd it has to be read not to be believed.
