Description
"Here, you'll need these," called Pete, holding a bunch of keys out of the window. "There's a padlock on the gate." "Why a padlock?" "Stock losses. We've lost too many sheep over the past year and I don't think it can be rooikat. Besides, others in the district have had the same trouble." When Roy and Vusi stumble upon the trail of the stock-thieves they become involved in a desperate chase that takes them up into the snow-covered mountains of the Great Karoo. As their adventure unfolds, Roy - handicapped by his deafness but determined to overcome it - and Vusi - battling against racial prejudice - discover that they have more in common than they realised. The message of the Black Eagle soaring overhead becomes an inspiration to both of them.
