The mutilated body of a diver is found in the Yucatan peninsula,
far from the coast. In Europe a deadly illness is sweeping through
the continent. When cave diving expert Mike Summers returns to
Mexico and crosses paths with maverick government agent Raphael
Rodriguez, he soon finds himself plunged into a world of intrigue
and terror. Rodriguez has been sent to monitor drug movements along
the Yucatan coastline, Mike is trying to unravel the mystery of his
friend's death, but both find their investigations linked to the
area's ancient subterranean cave systems and to events which shook
the local Maya civilisation some 500 years previously. "Steve
Turley's second adventure thriller is another polished page-turner,
written by an expert in the undersea world of sub-aqua, and an
adventurer in his own right. A classy and enjoyable read."
Die derde boek in die Abel-trilogie. Die polisie word ontbied na ’n kamer in die Sleep Inn in Bez Valley. Bloed en hare in die bad dui op ’n slagting, maar daar is geen lyk nie. Wanneer ’n gelooide en onthaarde vel in formalien gevind word, weet Ella Neser sy is weer op Abel Lotz se spoor. Abel bevind hom in Brugge, by sy vriend Ignaz Bouts. Kort voor lank soek hy weer na velle met tatoes vir die omslae van die tien volumes van sy Kosmiese Reise, hierdie keer met die hulp van Ignaz. Hy het twee velle en kort nog agt. Intussen word die lyk van ’n amptenaar van Binnelandse Sake kaal en bevrore langs ’n dam gevind, sy keel afgesny. Dit blyk dat ’n joernalis op sy spoor was, nadat ’n Suid-Afrikaanse paspoort aan die lyk van ’n meesterbrein van Al-Kaïda gevind is.

Agatha Christie meets Andy Weir in the ultimate locked room mystery set in the first hotel on the moon. Perfect for fans of Lucy Foley, Anthony Horowitz and Hanna Jameson.
Ten lucky people have won a place at the most exclusive launch event of the century: the grand opening of the Hotel Artemis, the first hotel on the moon. It's an invitation to die for. As their transport departs for its return to Earth and the doors seal shut behind them, the guests take the next leap for mankind.
However, they soon discover that all is not as it seems. The champagne may be flowing, but there is no one to pour it. Room service is available, but there is no one to deliver it. Besides the ten of them, they are completely alone.
When one of the guests is found murdered, fear spreads through the group. But that death is only the beginning. Being three days' journey from home and with no way to contact the outside, can any of the guests survive their stay?
Dit is die vroeë 1990’s. Ben Brandt duik al jare lank ondergronds onder die Poolse naam Jozeph Brzinski. Maar die tyd het aangebreek dat hy sy ou werk hervat: dié van huurmoordenaar.
In sy lewe voor hy moes onderduik as mynwerker, het hy moorde gepleeg vir wie ook al hom kon betaal. Hierdie keer het die Beweging hom nodig. Hy moet twee teikens by die Wêrelhandelsentrum in Kemptonpark elimineer.
Gerhard Coetzee, topadvokaat met ’n tragiese verlede, is die enigste een wat in sy pad staan.
Mystery fans will devour this entry into the classic, wisecracking
Nero Wolfe series, in which Wolfe must track down a dangerous
gunman-or risk losing his right-hand man Archie Goodwin is chipper
as he strolls home from his weekly poker game, money in his pocket
and a smile on his lips. He has just reached Nero Wolfe's stately
brownstone on West Thirty-Fifth Street when a sedan whips around
the corner and two gunshots ring out, nearly hitting Goodwin. It is
a warning, and the message is clear: The next bullet will not miss.
Rotund investigator Nero Wolfe has made more than his fair share of
enemies over the years, and it seems one of them has decided to
strike, targeting Wolfe's indefatigable assistant. Some might run
for cover, but Archie Goodwin is not the type. With the help of
Wolfe's brainpower, Goodwin will find the man who wants him
dead-unless the killer gets to Goodwin first. Nero Award-winning
author Robert Goldsborough continues the brilliant work of Rex
Stout in this classic mystery series. According to Publishers
Weekly, "Goldsborough cleverly captures the tone and language of
the originals. Rex Stout fans can only hope he has no plans to wind
up the series soon."
A brand new series.
An iconic new detective duo.
And a thrilling new murder to solve . . .
Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He does the odd bit of
investigation work, but he prefers his familiar habits and routines:
the pub quiz, his favourite bench, his cat waiting for him when he
comes home. His days of adventure are over: adrenaline is
daughter-in-law Amy’s business now.
Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. As a private
security officer, she doesn’t stay still long enough for habits or
routines. She’s currently on a remote island keeping world-famous
author Rosie D’Antonio alive. Which was meant to be an easy job . . .
Then a dead body, a bag of money and a killer with their sights on Amy
have her sending an SOS to the only person she trusts. A breakneck race
around the world begins, but can Amy and Steve stay one step ahead of a
deadly enemy?
