Johannesburg, 1985. Braam Brink, joernalis, ontmoet sy pel Adam
Williams vir ontbyt. Adam onthul sy rol as soldaat tydens die
apartheidsregime, en kort daarna word Braam se liggaam gevind.
Dertig jaar later volg speurder Daniella Hector, Braam se dogter,
die spoor van ’n reeksmoordenaar. Waarom vind die moorde altyd ’n
paar weke na mekaar plaas? En hoe hou dit verband met die dood van
Danny se pa?
Vinnie has always been different. But Vinnie is a survivor...A
childhood accident robbed Vinnie of his memories, making him
sensitive and anxious, and his difference soon attracted bullies.
If it wasn't for his family and his brother Frank, Vinnie wouldn't
have survived. But as the boys grow up, and after the devastating
loss of their parents, Vinnie finds himself increasingly involved
in violent situations whenever he's with Frank. Is this the type of
man he's become, or can the love of a remarkable woman teach him to
embrace life? When Vinnie is accused of a terrible crime, and looks
set for a long stretch behind bars, fragments of his memory start
to return and he begins to unravel his past. Who was his mother?
What kind of a man is his brother, Frank? And why does death
surround them? Things are not as they seem, but Vinnie can survive
anything... Ross Greenwood is back with this shocking, page-turning
glimpse into the criminal underworld. This book was previously
published as FIFTY YEARS OF FEAR. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Move
over Rebus and Morse; a new entry has joined the list of great
crime investigators in the form of Detective Inspector John Barton.
A rich cast of characters and an explosive plot kept me turning the
pages until the final dramatic twist.' author Richard Burke 'Master
of the psychological thriller genre Ross Greenwood once again
proves his talent for creating engrossing and gritty novels that
draw you right in and won't let go until you've reached the
shocking ending.' Caroline Vincent at Bitsaboutbooks blog 'Ross
Greenwood doesn't write cliches. What he has written here is a
fast-paced, action-filled puzzle with believable characters that's
spiced with a lot of humour.' author Kath Middleton

The smallest of small-time criminals, Ernest Stickley Jr.
figures his luck's about to change when Detroit used car salesman
Frank Ryan catches him trying to boost a ride from Ryan's lot.
Frank's got some surefire schemes for getting rich quick--all of
them involving guns--and all Stickley has to do is follow "Ryan's
Rules" to share the wealth. But sometimes rules need to be bent,
maybe even broken, if one is to succeed in the world of crime,
especially if the "brains" of the operation knows less than
nothing.

DID CANADA'S FAVOURITE RADIO HOST COMMIT MURDER?
Kevin Brace, Canada's most famous radio personality, stands in the
doorway of his luxury condominium, hands covered in blood, and
announces to his newspaper delivery man: "I killed her." His wife
lies dead in the bathtub, fatally stabbed. It would appear to be an
open-and-shut case.
The trouble is, Brace refuses to talk to anyone--including his own
lawyer--after muttering those incriminating words. With the
discovery that the victim was actually a self-destructive
alcoholic, the appearance of strange fingerprints at the crime
scene, and a revealing courtroom cross-examination, the seemingly
simple case takes on all the complexities of a hotly contested
murder trial.
In the tradition of defence lawyers turned authors like Scott Turow
and John Grisham, Robert Rotenberg delivers a legal thriller rich
with his forensic skill and insider knowledge, taking readers on a
tour of Toronto from the Don Jail to the towers of Bay Street and
into the shadowy corridors of the Old City Hall courthouse.
