A new South African thriller from the author of DEVIL'S PEAK

The breathtaking first novel from a talented South African thriller writer

Presents a thriller.

An antiques dealer is burned with a blow torch, then killed. The contents of the safe are missing and the only clues are a scrap of blank paper and the unusual weapon used, the choice of mercenaries, not burglars. Now ex-cop Zatopek 'Zed' van Heerden has fourteen days in which to fill in the blanks in this dead man's past.

Thobela Mpayipheli is a freedom fighter whose son is killed and when he sees the killers walk free, he decides to administer his own brand of justice by hunting down child murderers. Bennie Griessel is assigned to stop Thobela's vigilantism, but when his own daughter is kidnapped by an associate of a child rapist, Griessel question his own faith.

Bennie Griessel still knows enough to head up the police team tracking 'Artemis', a vigilante killer who targets child murderers. The killer is in fact Thobela Mpayipheli, a former freedom fighter robbed of everything by the murder of his son. And when Griessel's daughter is kidnapped, his world and Thobela's converge towards a devastating climax.
