In Gasheer van Drakeneiland kry vyf vreemdelinge ’n aanbod: Gaan hou ’n maand lank vakansie op ’n afgesonderde eiland. Die beloning? Vir elk ’n bedrag wat steier aan die nulle. Die weldoener? ’n Anonieme, eksentrieke miljoener en eienaar van Drakeneiland. Aanvanklik ’n avontuur, weldra ’n nagmerrie in die hart van die hel. Wat soek ’n laboratorium in ’n grot in die middel van nerens? Wie is hul gesiglose gasheer wat net ’n stem oor ’n luidspreker bly? Watter duiwelse eksperimente voer die professor uit? Erger as die gif van die eksperimente in proefkonyn na proefkonyn se bloedstroom, is die gif van wantroue in Irma Bruwer: Kan sy Anton de Woud, met sy donker broeiende sjarme, vertrou? Of is hy kop in een mus met die professor? Speel hy toneel en wat is sy rol? In Die droster van Doringbaai is die droster ene Koos van der Merwe, of so stel hy homself voor. Met sy verskyning op die dorp, en met die van die geheimsinnige skilder, Zuna Steyl, begin sake skeefloop: ongelukke vind plaas en ’n vreemde spanning ontwikkel onder die werkers van Sebastiaan Stadler se visfabriek wat deur sy neef, Eghardt Landman, vir hom bestuur word terwyl hy van ‘n hartaanval herstel. Maar dis nie al nie. Petra Pelser, Sebastiaan se verpleegster, volg hom een nag wanneer hy geheimsinnig verdwyn. Iets is gaande in die groot toring – maar wat? In Net na middernag word daar een Saterdagnag, toe die kerkhorlosie sy twaalf slae oor Driedoring uitbeier, ’n moord gepleeg op die rustige plattelandse dorpie. Tot almal se skok en verbasing word die prokureur se lyk die Saterdagoggend in die pastorietuin gevind. Kaptein Deon Roux word ontbied en saam met die speurder leer ons die mense van Driedoring ken – die gewilde dominee, die bekwame skoolhoof, die Badenhorsts met hul vinnige humeure, die mooi, senuweeagtige predikantsvrou, die nuuskierige dokter en sy goeie vrou, die orreliste met haar bewondering vir die dominee, en les bes: Marie Grebe, die jeugliefde van die prokureur wat nou met die skoolhoof getroud is en versot is op speurverhale . . . Saam met kaptein Roux is die leser warm op die spoor van die moordenaar – of is dit ’n dwaalspoor?

Murray Walker: Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken Murray Walker: Unless I’m Very Much Mistaken

Автор: Murray Walker

Год издания: 

The voice of motor racing and much loved public figure – and the man responsible for introducing millions of viewers to the previously inaccessible world of Formula 1 – tells the story of his incident-packed life, with a brand new chapter on his globetrotting adventures since retirement.Murray Walker is a national treasure. When the man who made famous the catch phrase 'Unless I'm very much mistaken… I AM very much mistaken!!!' announced that he was retiring as ITV's Grand Prix commentator, the media reacted as if the sport itself was losing one of its biggest stars.His reputation for mistakes was the making of Walker. He was the fan who happened to be given the keys to the commentary box – and never wanted to give them back. His high-octane delivery kept viewers on the edge of their seats, while his passion for talking about the sport he loved was matched by an all-encompassing knowledge gained through hours of painstaking research before every race.In his book he writes about his childhood and the influence that his father, British motorcycle champion Graham Walker, had on his career. Failing to match his father's achievements on the track after active service in World War II, he made a successful career for himself in advertising which catapulted him to the top of his profession.An offer from the BBC to take over the commentary seat for their F1 broadcasts was too good to turn down, and it wasn't long before the infamous 'Murrayisms' enlivened a sport which until then had been shrouded in a cloak of unfathomable technical jargon and mind-numbing statistics.He also talks about the biggest changes in the sport over the last 50 years, in particular the safety issues which came to the fore after the tragic death of Ayrton Senna, which he witnessed first hand. His partnership with James Hunt behind the microphone is the subject of some hilarious anecdotes, while his views on drivers past and present such as Stirling Moss, Jackie Stewart, Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher make for fascinating reading.
