Jann Turner's father, anti-apartheid activist Dr Rick Turner, was shot dead by an unknown assassin in 1978. He died in the arms of his daughter, who was only 13 at the time.
Jann has spent years trying to find out the identity of her father's killer, but his identity remains unknown. And she has now written a novel about a woman in search of her lover's assassin in post-apartheid South Africa - a novel in which she explores the dangers of finding out the truth about the past in a country where nothing is black and white, but 'a thousand shades of grey'.
Jann Turner talks to Martha about her book. Southern Cross by Jann Turner, Orion Publishers, 20 March 2003, ISBN: 0752814494
