Counting the Coffins is the touching story of a young couple, Lesego and Thabang Maje who lose an unborn child after the wife drives into a concrete wall to avoid a drugged teenager in his father’s car. As if in consolation, the other twin survives. But as fate would have it, Thabang, who is a private investigator, will find himself dealing with the boy’s father later in the book as he investigates a failed building project.
