When Captain Kassie Kasselman of Newlands SAPD starts investigating a missing ex-colleague, it’s quickly clear that more is going on than a simple drug-related disappearance. It somehow seems linked to the kidnapping that has struck his colleague Rooi Els’ wife’s place of work, a curio shop. From the Cape ganglands to Kruger’s rhino poachers, from a grisly smallholding to the glitz of the diplomatic world, Kassie has to feel his way quickly but carefully – or Rooi Els’ wife is fish food. Afrikaans readers have grown to love anti-hero Captain Kassie Kasselman since Rudie van Rensburg’s first crime novel, Slagyster (2013). His unique style of detective story, with a strong focus not only on the investigation but also on the criminals in question, creating a complex and satisfying web of motives and plot, is now available in English for the first time.

Action thriller by the classic adventure writer about security
consultant, Max Stafford, set in Kenya. When a legacy of GBP40
million is left to a small college in Kenya, investigations begin
about the true identities of the heirs - the South African, Dirk
Hendriks, and his namesake, Henry Hendrix from California.
Suspicion that Hendrix is an impostor leads Max Stafford to the
Rift Valley, where a violent reaction to his arrival points to a
sinister and far-reaching conspiracy far beyond mere greed...
Critics are raving about this deliciously chilling new thriller
from Scandanavian crime-writing sensation Camilla Lackberg.
Named by major media outlets, such as "USA TODAY," "The New York
Times," and "The Washington Post," as a main successor to Stieg
Larsson, Swedish author Lackberg is on the rise. Her new novel,
which "The Washington Post" has already named as one of their "Ten
Books We Love This Year" and praised as "richly textured and
downright breathtaking," continues the story of local detective
Patrik Hedstrom and his girlfriend, Erica Falck, the beloved
crime-solving duo whose first child has just been born. But while
they celebrate this new life, a suspicious drowning claims a little
girl they knew well. As the murder's implications widen, Patrik's
investigation threatens to tear apart the rural fishing village of
Fjallbacka, where a secret lurks that spans generations.
A deeply satisfying third installment in her internationally
bestselling series, "The Stonecutter "will establish Lackberg for
the U.S. audience once and for all. As "USA TODAY" says, "If you
haven't yet read the equally entrancing "Ice Princess" and "The
Preacher," what are you waiting for?"
It's December 1967, and the town of Kinloch is cut off by heavy
snow. With all roads closed, the only way to feed and water the
townsfolk is for the fishing fleet to sail to Girvan for much
needed supplies. But the skipper of the Girl Maggie, Sandy Hoynes,
has a problem. First mate Hamish has, to everyone's astonishment,
been chosen as Young Fisherman of the Year by a Glasgow newspaper.
Marooned in the town and with one eye on a scoop, their reporter
decides to join the fishing crew on their mercy mission. The
thought of the publicity - and some remuneration - delights Hoynes.
But Hamish hasn't told him the whole story. As the blizzards
worsen, the crew of the Girl Maggie embark upon a trip like no
other, encountering ghostly Vikings, gigantic crustaceans and a
helpful seagull.
The nineteenth book in the hugely popular Peter Decker and Rina
Lazarus series from New York Times bestselling author Faye
Kellerman When LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker reluctantly agrees to
do a big favour for old friend Teresa McLaughlin, he knows that his
involvement will bring her sociopathic husband, Chris Donatti, back
into his life. But then Terry goes missing and Donatti disappears,
leaving their 14-year-old son Gabe behind. Meanwhile Adrianna
Blanc, a party-loving nurse, is found swinging from the rafters of
a house in a wealthy suburban area. Her last phone call announced
she was breaking up with her philandering boyfriend and Decker
questions whether it was in fact suicide. With lives hanging in the
balance, Decker and his team need to find answers fast. At home
matters are just as precarious: while Decker and his wife Rina
Lazarus want to look after young Gabe, with Donatti on the loose,
no one is really ever safe...
