‘My sister was abducted from here nearly thirty years ago. The person who took her was never found. And neither was she. Her abductor nearly killed me. So I’m back here now trying to find the truth.’

Atlee Pine has spent most of her life trying to find out what happened that fateful night in Andersonville, Georgia. Her six-year-old twin sister, Mercy, was taken and Atlee was left for dead while their parents were apparently partying downstairs.

The family moved away. The parents divorced. And Atlee chose a career with the FBI dedicating her life to catching those who hurt others. When she oversteps the mark on the arrest of a dangerous criminal, she’s given a leave of absence offering the perfect opportunity to return to where it all began, and find some answers. But the trip to Andersonville turns into a roller-coaster ride of murder, long-buried secrets and lies.

And a revelation so personal that everything she once believed is fast turning to dust.

It was a time when he would uncover the secrets that lay in and beyond the... WOODLAND

In Sondes van die vaders is Danny Hector en haar ondersoekspan weer warm op die spoor van ’n nuwe moordverdagte.

Die weeskind Hansie Roodt, wat in die 1980’s as tienerseun galgdiens moes doen, het begin om die nasate van diegene wat hom destyds te na gekom het, vir húl sondes te laat boet. Hansie, nou bekend as Gabriël, is ’n reeksmoordenaar met ’n slinkse modus operandi wat aanhou uitdaag en verras, en kreatiewe maniere moet gevind word om hom te vang.

Nes sy voorganger beloof Sondes van die vaders om ook ’n groot gunsteling by lesers te wees – ’n viering van ’n skrywer wat ’n sonderlinge aanvoeling vir karakters, dialoog en bowenal vir stórie gehad het.

Die veelsydige en veelbekroonde François Bloemhof is verantwoordelik vir die afronding van Lerina se manuskrip.
