IT'S BOILING IN THE TOWNSHIPS OF THE MOTHER CITY
The heat is oppressive in Cape Town and the drinking water is running out. A series of brutal murders shake the Cape of Good Hope. The tension boils over when the body of a young tourist is found in the middle of the idyllic national park.
Pieter and his old friend Nick Aquilina quickly get caught up in a vortex that pulls them deep into the merciless world of the townships and entangles them in the machinations of unscrupulous, large corporations. A fierce battle breaks out over the urgent need for drinking water, and all the while the murderer hunts for his next victim.
Reviews:
A fast-paced and gripping crime novel. You get detailed and vivid descriptions of the landscape, you can feel, taste and smell the heat and the dust that covers everything in this dry country.-starred review.
Drought, murder, fraud - a deadly combination in Cape Town. The style of storytelling reminds me of Bennie Griesel novels, two different stories that come together at the end.-starred review.
