.This novel is the first book in the Barracuda Night Club trilogy. A chance meeting with a striking young Coloured woman that took place in Kalamazoo changed the course of Aaron's life. On previous occasion he had seen the young woman several times before at Mass at St Dominic's Catholic Church in Boksburg. What made her conspicuous were the unusual mantillas she used to cover her head with during communion on Sundays. It is possible that if she did not wear those colourful mantillas she would never have caught his attention. During the times that her family visited St Dominic's on Sundays he sensed her presence in the church and he always felt this strong irresistible compulsion to seek her out in the congregation in order to catch a glimpse of her face.
