Horrified, they stare at the faceless heads of female persons, as can be seen from the hair. Now a race against time begins for the team.

The fourth book in the great Kenyan family saga, told against a background of true historical events. William Shrimes came to Kenya in 1939 with little money but a dream. He wanted to build a farm. He painstakingly made it happen - the Shrimes farm came into being. It has been a hard road, fighting racial barriers as much as the Mau Mau menace. He has buried friends and enemies, his wife and daughter. He has since transferred parts of his farm back to the Kikuyu. His son James lives nearby, but contact has almost completely broken off, as he is investigating for a British special unit. Only the alleged quarrel between father and son can protect William from being murdered. Their meetings have to be clandestine. William looks forward to his 84th birthday in 2007. Now he is experiencing discrimination first hand, the disintegration of his family, and how the country that became his home is collapsing in the political turmoil. He is hurt not only by illness, the loss of his beloved wife, and fear for James, but especially by meanness, intolerance, stupidity, lies and greed. He asks himself: Was this my dream of Africa?

William's grandson Erik works for the Kenya Wildlife Service. It is in this environment that the doctor Ariane Niebert, who comes to the country with lofty plans, packed with a head full of dreams, for a year to help. After only a short time, she is faced with a shambles as she makes mistakes as a result of ignorance, arrogance, coupled with ignorance. Only when all illusions are shattered does she get a new chance through Erik Shrimes, unaware of his intentions. Ariane is drawn into a network of drug fraud and poaching through perfidious intrigues.

There he painstakingly built up his farm. In 1969, his son James returns from England to his father's property. The reunion ends in a quarrel and William realises what big mistakes he has made in the past. That is not all that is unpleasant. James informs him that he intends to start a safari company with his two coloured friends, that just when new unrest is shaking the country. The problem is not only that East Africa is affected by a long period of drought, but that the Mabwana are still not welcome by the government. The beautiful but also brutal picture of Kenya up to the 1980s is recorded, its countless dark sides, just like old traditions, cultures. Moderns and antiquities are reported. It reflects history as a backdrop to the events of the time.
