Marcel arrives in London, from New Zealand, ready to start a new job and a new life away from the painful losses that he has experienced. The first day of work, he meets his boss's wife, Kate, who becomes an important friend to him. When one of his friends, Paul, is injured in a freak accident, Marcel must weigh the meaning of his life.
Along the way we also meet Kristi, with whom Marcel had a failed relationship and who has now reentered his life, this time as a friend. Or is she? And Jeisa, a teacher who encounters a violent parent who makes her pay because his son is not able to learn effectively. The theme of La Decouverte is our carnal and spiritual nature and through our central character, Marcel - and five other important people with whom Marcel relates, we learn what this means.
Through the discussions between Marcel and his friends, their dreams, and some mysterious deaths, we discover that spiritual enlightenment may be the eventual revelation.

Chapter One
Mandy
Like a leaf in a storm. Mandy had disappeared in the seething current beyond the white water and the rocks, twenty metres ahead of their raft.
The rubber hull careered on through the rapids. Josh, the guide, dived into the deeper water and Marcel stood up to follow. Two men restrained him.
'We have too many overboard. Josh will get her.'
Marcel cursed them and fell half over the side watching the guide, as he bobbed about downstream.
'I have her,' a call came from Josh. Someone up front thanked God and the five remaining on board paddled towards the bank where Josh had dragged Mandy.

The movement of her bare feet, floating in the water, contrasted the motionless body supported in the long grass. She lay on her back, her head to one side, partly covered by her long hair. She was only ten - beautiful, but the once golden hair was now matted with blood - dark red around the right temple, lighter and diluted as it coloured the water running across her neck.
'Do you love me Daddy? then touch me,' she often teased him.
Marcel turned her head gently, but to-day her eyes stared through and beyond him. He fell sobbing across her. She was dead . His best friend was gone.

'You stupid wanker,' said Jane, when Marcel phoned his wife. 'Fucked now aren't you without your crutch.
'Jane, are you sad?'
'Should I be?' she answered, 'Mandy will be organizing God right now, as she managed my house. And what did you do to save her life anyway.'
