Aan die Kaapse Weskus versorg Rebecca Maas haar sterwende pa in ’n tegnologies gevorderde slimhuis, ’n huis wat praat in ’n halfbekende stem. Op die horison, ’n olietenkskip.

’n Posthuman biohacker trou met die enorme skip, en maak kuns oor die wittebroodsreis.

En in die yswildernis van Svalbard verdwyn ’n navorser se kollega en minnaar spoorloos. Hulle is daar om geheimsinnige spierwit items te ondersoek – dalk beendere, maar dan beendere wat vertak en ineensmelt soos geen bekende skepsel s’n nie.

Willem Anker se roman Buys (2014) is bekroon met die Universiteit van Johannesburg-prys, die WA Hofmeyrprys, die kykNET-Rapportprys, die Hertzogprys en die Helgaard Steyn-toekenning. In vertaling as Red Dog was dit in 2020 op die langlys vir die International Booker Prize. Anker doseer skeppende skryfkunde aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch.

Nadat Ella Neser as moordspeurder uit die polisie bedank het, het sy op plesierbote in die Karibiese See gaan werk. Toe kom die virus, en sy is verplig om na Suid­Afrika te repatrieer. Nou sit sy sonder werk en sonder toekoms. Sy word gevra om 'n private ondersoek te loods op die dorpie Osspruit in Mpumalanga. Vier jong manne het oënskynlik besluit om voor en tydens die inperkingstyd weg te loop, maar meer sinistere gebeure word agter hulle verdwynings vermoed . . .

Die aksie speel binne vier dae in Julie af, tydens die grendeltyd. Hoe dieper Ella begin krap, hoe meer besef sy daar is 'n gewetenlose brein wat agteraf konkel met die steenkoollorries na Eskom as rookskerm. Ella is genoodsaak om haar eie intuïsie te vertrou ten einde by die waarheid uit te kom – maar dit gebeur nie sonder verdere hikke en bloedlating nie.

Man uit die dode verskyn as krimi­vervolgverhaal op Netwerk24 en daarna in boekvorm by H&R. Dit speel af net voor die aanvang van Die versoeking van Thomas Maas.

While Billy is obviously mentally distressed, and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic. Trying to get to the bottom of Billy's story, Strike and Robin Ellacott - once his assistant, now a partner in the agency - set off on a twisting trail that leads them through the backstreets of London, into a secretive inner sanctum within Parliament, and to a beautiful but sinister manor house deep in the countryside. And during this labyrinthine investigation, Strike's own life is far from straightforward: his newfound fame as a private eye means he can no longer operate behind the scenes as he once did. Plus, his relationship with his former assistant is more fraught than it ever has been - Robin is now invaluable to Strike in the business, but their personal relationship is much, much more tricky than that . . .

Marinda van Zyl is daarvoor bekend dat sy onverkende gebeure in die geskiedenis ontgin en dit verweef in verhale waarvan die karakters en hulle lotgevalle ’n mens bybly. Rooiborslaksman is ’n welkome opvolg op Van Zyl se die epiese historiese roman Amraal.

In Rooiborslaksman word die negentiende­eeuse konflik met die Herero’s en Duitsers in die destydse Suidwes­Afrika vervleg met die lewensverhale van Liesbet Lambert (Amraal Lambert se laatlam) wat wees gelaat word tydens die pokke­epidemie en Frederik Vlermuis vir wie Gobabis se kerktoring soos die spierwit pendoring van die kameeldoringboom lyk waaraan die rooiborslaksman genadeloos sy prooi ryg.

Daniel weier om te glo wat almal sê: dat hy ’n skelm is, nes sy pa . . . Wanneer hy egter ’n meisie in ’n rolstoel op Simonstad se kaai raaksien en besluit om haar pêrelhangertjie te steel, beland hy onverwags op ’n skip wat hom wegvoer na Skulpiesbaai en die rykman Robert Stanford se plaas. Hy maak kennis met Malgas, ’n visser wat in die kliphuis bokant die melkhoutbos woon, en Gertjie, die diensmeisie wat die venynige juffrou Caitlin in haar rolstoel versorg. Maar wie is die vreemde ou vrou wat saam met die strandjutwolf langs die see verskyn? En waarom tree Caitlin so boosaardig op, terwyl sy vrees dat die Seevrou haar gaan kom haal? Hou dit dalk verband met die wrak van die slaweskip wat daar op die rotse geloop het? ’n Spannende historiese jeugroman wat tegelykertyd fantasie­, avontuur­ en spookverhaal is.

Ella Neser is terug van haar Karibiese skeepsvaart, en soort van terug in Lou se arms. Haar nuwe opdrag, nou as private speurder, is 'n bisarre een. Donna Maas, huisvrou en eggenoot van die sielkundige Thomas Maas, is oortuig haar man het 'n skelmpie. En dit is Ella se taak om met die bewyse vorendag te kom.

Die roman begin egter by die einde van die verhaal, waar Ella haar finale verslag optik. Daar is 'n moord gepleeg, maar ons weet nie wie die slagoffer is nie, en nog minder, wie die skurk.

'n Verskeidenheid karakters word betrek in Die versoeking van Thomas Maas, waaronder Thomas, sy vrou, hul tienertweeling, Maas se pa, wat aan dementia ly, en ook die hoof van 'n perdeskool, Amalia Rojas.

'n Verbysterende roman deur een van die mees ervare spanningsromanskrywers in Afrikaans. Karsten dop die genre se reëls op sy kop, en kom vorendag met 'n hoogtepunt nie net in sy eie oeuvre nie, maar in die Afrikaanse krimi­korpus

As a rousing Strauss piece is reaching its crescendo in Maningpool Civic Hall, the talented yet obnoxious conductor Sir Noel Grampian is shot dead in full view of the Municipal Orchestra and the audience. It was no secret that he had many enemies - musicians and music critics among them - but to be killed in mid flow suggests an act of the coldest calculation. Told through the letters and documents sent by D.I. Alan Hope to his wife as he puzzles through the dauntingly vast pool of suspects and scant physical evidence in the case, this is an innovative and playful mystery underscored by the author's extensive experience of the highly-strung world of music professionals. First published in 1941, this new edition returns Farr's only crime novel to print to receive its long-deserved encore.

Die verminkte lyk van ’n vrou wat op die strand gevind word, ruk die rustige Murraybaai, veral wanneer dit blyk dat die geweldenaar swanger vroue teiken. Die nagmerrie verdiep wanneer die verwagtende Deirdre O’Brien ook deur ’n gemaskerde man ontvoer word. Sy slaag daarin om te ontsnap, hoewel nie heeltemal ongedeerd nie. Die moordenaar gaan dit nie daar laat nie: Sy word die prooi in ’n obsessiewe kat-en-muis-speletjie. Hy wil haar knak en haar lewe steel, maar sy gaan dit nie toelaat nie.

Thabisa Tswane has it all: a loving and supportive husband, two beautiful children, a house in Joburg’s Northern suburbs. Sure, the handsome and mysterious Zakhele Khumalo is away from home often for a job he can’t talk about, but Thabisa understands how it works in his world. After all, it is her world, too.

Recently promoted to Major at The Eagles, South Africa’s elite crime-fighting unit, she’s been asked to investigate Victor Maseko – South Africa’s wealthiest and most notorious businessman. All his attention seems focused on the construction and launch of The Maseko building, an embarrassingly opulent shrine to himself. But the people in his inner circle have a nasty habit of dying brutal deaths… And when Maseko’s wife Zibu is shot in Thabisa’s presence, Major Tswane knows she’s caught up in the middle of a web she has yet to untangle.

There are days when the village of Nguni Intile, famous for its intricate beadwork and home of Thabisa’s grandfather, Chief Solenkosi, seems a lifetime away. But will evil follow Thabisa all the way to her childhood home?
