Synopsis
Captain Zara Dewane’s day job is to police the police.
When she’s not investigating rotten officers, she’s out in her kayak or taking her surfer son in search of waves. Trouble is, she’s too good at her job. And there are people who want her gone.
Zara, head of the Internal Crime Unit in the Western Cape, is up to her neck in the daily grind of investigating police violence and corruption when a string of bombings terrorising Cape Town sends her in a new direction.
There are rumours of an ISIS training camp being run by cops in the semi-desert of the Karoo. There are untimely deaths and strange alliances – between police, violent gangs, politicians and terrorists – fuelling her suspicions of malfeasance reaching to the powerful upper echelons of South Africa’s police force.
Soon Zara is dodging more than shrapnel in this incendiary novel of greed and corruption.
