Desert Varnish - Karen Cochlovius

A young, female geologist, Robyn Hartley, roams from the depths below the earth on the Lesotho border, to remote Bushveld, sun-baked Namaqualand and the wide-open spaces of Namibia in a tough man’s world during a time of tense new democracy.
Robyn becomes immersed in the lives of the crazy, off-beat characters that that live on the land. Little does she know she is becoming increasingly entangled into the corporate world of corrupt mining mergers
Desert Varnish reads as a thriller. It is filled with humour, an endearing love for wild places and clear observation of people who are shaped by the land in contrast to those who control the boardrooms.
