Handling
Marnus Erasmus är en ung pojke som bor med sin familj i Kapstaden, Sydafrika under 1960-talet. Familjien Erasmus är en vit familj i ett land för det mesta befolkad av färgade människor. Sydafrika styrs av de vita och Marnus far är en viktig armé general.

Marnus är uppfostrad till att tro att färgade är andra klassens medborgare då han är indoktrinerad av samhället och sina föräldrars åsikter. Under bokens gång ser vi som läsare att Marnus alla möten med färgade är positiva. Marnus far gillar inte svarta människor eftersom han, hans far och deras familj drevs bort ifrån sina marker till Sydafrika varpå marken blev tvångsköp de svarta massorna ifrån Tanganyika, det som idag kallas för Tanzania. Marnus far tror att de svarta kommer att förgöra samhället som de vita har skapat och att de vita måste förhindra detta genom att kontrollera de afrikanska urinvårnarna.

Marnus´ best friend is Frikkie, who is also white. They attend the same school and every minute in their free time they meet up with each other. In the summer holidays Frikkie stays with Marnus in the Erasmus´ house, where Marnus' father often meets generals from other countries. He tells Marnus that he is not allowed to tell anybody else that there is a soldier from another country there, and that he shall call the visitors Mr. Smith. During the summer, a Mr. Smith from Chile visits the family. At dinner Marnus´ father and the general speak about the political situation in the world. Mr. Smith says that he is relieved that his army has overthrown the government of Allende due to cooperating with the Communists. Marnus´ father tells the general South Africa is also in a very bad position because the world is "against his country". He explains that the other states are against them and claim that the white people in South Africa are discriminative against the black population.[2] Marnus makes an agreement with Frikkie that they will tell each other all their secrets, which is why Marnus ignores his father's warning not to tell anybody that he speaks with Mr. Smith. Marnus tells Frikkie that the whole world is against South Africa and that the coloured people are to blame for that. One night Marnus wakes up and he notices that Frikkie is not in his bed. He can see the spare room through the floor-boards in his room and witnesses Frikkie being raped. He assumes the rapist is Mr. Smith who is supposed to have left that night, and goes downstairs to wake his parents, but finds his father is not in bed. He goes back upstairs and observes that the man who is raping Frikkie does not have a scar on his back like the General (Mr. Smith) and realises that it is his father. The next day he asks Frikkie if something happened during the night but Frikkie does not tell Marnus anything. Frikkie says that he has decided to go home and he does not want to stay longer. Marnus reassures himself that Frikkie will never tell anyone what happened..
