Twist

Anthony Fennell, a writer, has travelled to Cape Town to find and board the Georges Lecointe, a cable repair vessel. Fennell is quickly captivated by the ship's Chief of Mission, the mysterious, charismatic John Conway - and his beautiful partner, Zanele. But as the boat embarks along the west coast of Africa, the mission falters - and Conway is thrown into crisis. When he disappears, Fennell must set out to find him.
His investigation will bring him face-to-face with the darkest contradictions of the human heart - and force him to confront the possibility that the ties that bind us might be better off broken.

Anthony Fennell, a journalist, is in pursuit of a story buried at the bottom of the sea : the network of tiny fibre-optic tubes that carry the world's information across the ocean floor - and what happens when they break. A darkly epic novel about connection, disconnection and destruction - from bestselling and National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann.
