Thriller Political
Even after the release of Nelson Mandela and the promise of
free elections, extremist groups terrorized South Africa,
bombing churches, opening fire in bars and restaurants.
Nearly twenty-five years ago, as a young Captain, Vaughn de
Vries finds himself in pursuit of the suspects of a fatal
bombing in his precinct, under the command of one of the
most feared white police officers of the time: Major Kobus
Nel. Out of radio communication and without clear evidence,
the SAPS barge into a township and set off a chain of events
which will resonate for a quarter of a century. In Cape Town in 2015, the heiress of an Apartheid-era
industrialist is found murdered, her body posed to suggest a
racial hate crime. But, as Colonel Vaughn De Vries
investigates, possible motives for her death abound: a
highly controversial art exhibition, her sexual preferences,
her relationship - as yet unknown by the press - with the
son of one of the heroes of The Struggle. And, moving South down through the country, five men are
murdered, each with a connection to a point in history De
Vries would sooner forget. When the link is made, De Vries
must re-live the traumatic event to uncover the perpetrator.
Old wounds, hidden in history, are exposed, and a mysterious
killer approaches, whom no one seems able to stop.
