Pinky Promise

Softcover
Scarce so collectable value

At a book signing in Cape Town, the photographer Pierre Crocquet was writing his name in copies of his book Pinky Promise when he thought he recognized someone in the crowd. Was that James just now, one of the subjects a perpetrator who participated in the making of this book, a documentary project on child sexual abuse?

Or was it Mr. Crocquets imagination? Either seemed plausible; James had had a career in military intelligence during the decades of apartheid and used those techniques, and disguises, to abuse children undetected. An air of paranoia hung over him perhaps it had seeped into Mr. Crocquets psyche as well, and his mind was playing tricks. After all,  had spent a lot of time with James, getting to know him over the course of the project, which had been three years in the making.
