...security means a tiny cell in Gaborone Central Prison, where the gaunt, 50-year-old blonde says she is at peace and where she awaits death by hanging for the 1996 murder of Maria "Ria" Wolmarans, one of her closest friends. In the year after the killing, Bosch married Wolmarans' widower-Marthinus, known as Tienie-with whom she had been having a passionate affair since shortly after her own husband's death in a 1995 auto accident.

But until now, no one had set a teaser scene in a Nazi death camp, where gaunt Jews trudge to their doom. A boy, torn from his parents, goes into a seizure, and the camp gates are bent open. Aha! So the inmates are miraculously freed? No. It's not about the 6 million. It's about this...
