Description
Shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger Award 2010.
They killed her best friend. Now they are chasing Rachel Anderson through the streets of Cape Town. The young tourist doesn’t dare trust anyone—except her father, back home in America. When he puts pressure on the politicians, they know that to protect their country’s image, they must find Rachel’s hiding place before the killers.
And so it is that Detective Benny Griessel—recovering alcoholic and a man way past his last chance—has just 13 hours to crack open a conspiracy which threatens the whole nation.
