PREPARE TO BE HOOKED . . .
 
Early morning: on the foreshore of the river Thames, a bag of bones is discovered. Human bones.

DCI Samuel Owusu quickly sends the bag for forensic examination. The bones are those of a young woman, killed by a blow to the head many years ago.

Also inside the bag is a trail of clues which lead DCI Owusu to a mansion in Chelsea where thirty years previously three people lay dead, while a baby upstairs waited for someone to pick her up.

Four deaths. An unsolved mystery. A family whose secrets can't stay buried for ever.

Twee plaasdramas oor grense, tradisies, grond en bloed.

Melk & Vleis

Dis 1996. Suid-Afrika het verander, maar sekere huishoudings nog nie. ’n Suksesvolle aktuaris los haar werk in die stad nadat sy verlief raak op ’n sjarmante jong boer. Sy probeer haar bes om in te pas by die kleindorpse gemeenskap, haarself in haar huwelik te laat geld, en die familieplaas van ondergang te red. Nadat ’n erfgenaam gebore word, begin dinge egter op die plaas uitrafel ...

Jana besoek haar pa en oom op die familieplaas. Die plaas gaan agteruit en haar pa sit meer op die kroegstoel as die kerkbank. Een nag los hy in sy dronkenskap die hek oop en dit word ‘n aand wat niemand sal vergeet nie... ’n Verhaal oor plaasaanvalle en die desperate nalatenskap van Afrikanermans wat nooit kon heel nadat hulle aan die “verkeerde” kant van die apartheidstryd geveg het nie.

1987. Die opdrag aan Spesmagte se sersant Jos Fourie is eenvoudig: pas 'n vrag missiele op wat stil-stil uit Oos-Duitsland verskeep moet word. Maar iets vrot. Eers die onverklaarbare teenwoordigheid van 'n groep US Navy Seals wat hom in Duitsland dophou, daarna die skokontdekking van wapengehalte uraan-235 wat versteek is in sy vrag. Jos het elke greintjie vernuf waaroor hy beskik nodig om aan die lewe te bly onder die aanslag van Nigeriese seerowers, die agtervolgende Angolese vloot en sy ontluikende gevoelens vir die mooi ingenieurstudent Ashley Ramirez.

Dit word 'n nagmerrie-tog van die Noordsee tot by 'n geheimsinnige Weermag-skag in die Kalahari se duine, 'n aksiebelaaide wedren teen tyd om 'n katastrofiese kerntoets te stop voor dit 'n internasionale insident veroorsaak en sodoende die brose onderhandelingsproses na Suid-Afrika se ontluikende demokrasie kelder.

It was a time when mankind had shed its primitive mantle and a basic civilisation had evolved. It was a time when complacency had relegated the Old Gods to mythological tales. It was a time when a young hunter had to sate his curiosity about a pretty young girl he had seen when he was a child. It was a time when he would discover new worlds, love, adventure, terror, a beautiful goddess and the power of a magic sword. It was a time when he would uncover the secrets that lay in and beyond the... WOODLAND
