Arriving on the ground with few leads, he is soon courted by people on both sides of the fight.Of particular interest to Richard is Patience, a young township teacher with a sharp wit and an even sharper tongue. But his conscience is tested when he discovers that Patience is helping to smuggle boys across the border and recruiting her students to join the guerrilla army. Seduced by both Patience and the African landscape, but with the dangers of war growing ever closer, Richard’s future begins to look increasingly uncertain.

    The Importance of Being Earnest is Oscar Wilde's most celebrated play — a sharp, witty comedy that satirizes Victorian society's obsession with propriety, status, and marriage. The plot follows two friends, Jack and Algernon, who invent fictional personas to escape social obligations and pursue romance. Chaos and hilarity ensue as their lies unravel and identities are mistaken.This sparkling comedy of manners showcases Wilde's trademark wit and irony, exposing the absurdities of upper-class conventions with elegance and charm. At once light-hearted and deeply clever, the play remains one of the most beloved works in English theatre.

Beth's disappearance coincides with a series of brutal murders the FBI dubs the ""bookend killings."" They think Beth isthe killer's latest victim... or his willing accomplice. But Gus knows his wife would never ally herself with a cold–blooded killer. The further he searches, however, the more he discovers that Beth isn't the woman he thought he knew. 
Beth may be alive. She may or may not be innocent. She may have come up against evil far more reaching than a serial killer. And for Gus and his family, that evil is much too close to home.
