They thought they found heaven on earth. They discover a living hell.
When Brandt 'Doc' Savage and his girlfriend Kira land on a desert
island in the middle of the Atlantic, they think they've found a
perfect utopia. An escape from their tumultuous pasts.
But they don't have long to enjoy their new-found peace before they are
violently separated and dragged to opposite ends of the earth.
As Doc searches the seas and continents for Kira, he discovers they are
entangled in a global conspiracy that is bigger than he ever could have
imagined.
Can Doc and Kira find each other before one of their many enemies
catches them first?
Marc Schlosser, 'n huisdokter, begaan 'n mediese fout en as gevolg
daarvan sterf een van sy pasiente. Schlosser moet voor die Mediese
Raad verskyn om verantwoording te doen. Schlosser is nie te
bekommerd oor die Mediese Raad nie: Hy sal seker 'n paar maande
geskors word, wat nie te erg is nie. Wat die saak egter kompliseer,
is dat die pasient 'n baie bekende akteur, Ralph Meier, is, wat
miskien net te veel aandag gegee het aan Schlosser se pragtige
vrou, Caroline. Of hou die hele gedoente verband met wat by die
Meiers se vakansiehuis gebeur het toe die Schlosser-gesin daar op
besoek was? Soos in Die aandete is die hoofkarakter van die verhaal
ook die verteller wat net vertel wat hy wil he die leser moet weet
en so die leser aan die raai hou oor wat werklik gebeur het.

A murder committed on paper, safely within the confines of a novel,
is one thing. To see that same crime in the real world, is
something else entirely. . . Frank Fons is a very successful crime
writer. His novels, famed for their visceral descriptions of
violent death, have made him a household name. But now someone is
copying his crimes. For Frank what once seemed a clever, intriguing
plot twist, has suddenly become a terrifying, blood-spattered
reality. In the novel, a redhead who was scared of water is
drowned. In the mirror-image of the real world, she has become an
ex-girlfriend chained and left to die at the bottom of the harbour.
A corrupt police-officer tortured to death becomes a contact who
dies with fear in his eyes. Someone is taking Franks' fiction and
using it to destroy his life. The writer must become the detective.
In fiction, the bad guy always gets caught, but in real life there
is no such guarantee. Fear becomes real. The knife cut hurts like
hell. Our narrator may not survive. No-one is promising you a happy
ending. For Frank what had once been a game is now a matter of life
and death.
Adriana vra Ranna en Alex om onder die dekmantel van joernalistiek die storie
van ’n jong vrou onder haar beskerming te ondersoek. Dit bring hulle op die spoor
van ’n ou misdaad – die verdwyning van ’n talentvolle jong kunstenaar wat in
haar matriekjaar spoorloos verdwyn het. Die meisie se destydse kêrel en haar
kunsonderwyser is verdink, maar die saak is nooit opgelos nie. ’n Foto van die
meisie naby ’n aborsiekliniek in Johannesburg speel ’n kardinale rol. In die foto
kyk sy oor haar skouer, asof sy bang is sy word agtervolg. Alex dek ook ’n
storie oor ’n jong onwettige immigrant wat van vervolging in sy eie land gevlug het
om ’n nuwe lewe in SuidAfrika te maak. Maar xenofobie dreig om sy drome te
verwoes. AJ Williams is op dertig kaptein in die polisie, maar sy veg om die
stereotipering te oorkom wat haar bruin vel en geslag ontlok. ’n Foto van Ranna
in Pretoria sit AJ op dié se spoor.

Governess-turned-sleuth Miss Silver must follow a trail of
poison-pen letters to save an heiress from murder. Rachel Treherne
has always had a steady head on her shoulders; it's why her late
father named her the sole trustee of his considerable fortune. But
the decision galled a number of Rachel's relatives, including her
married older sister, her socialist nephew, and her father's
ambitious young cousin. Rachel fears she may be overreacting to the
anonymous letters she's received threatening her life, but then
someone tampers with the chocolates she bought herself. If her
cousin hadn't partaken first and noticed an unwholesome taste, who
knows what may have happened? Miss Silver suspects someone in
Rachel's inner circle has grown tired of being a poor relation, and
she travels incognito to the Treherne country home to unmask the
culprit--before it's too late--in this intriguing entry in the
beloved series featuring a contemporary of Agatha Christie's Miss
Marple. Lonesome Road is the 3rd book in the Miss Silver Mysteries,
but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
The Santa Killer is coming to town...One night less than two weeks
before Christmas, a single mother is violently assaulted. It's a
brutal crime at the time of year when there should be goodwill to
all. When DI Barton begins his investigation, he's surprised to
find the victim is a woman with nothing to hide and no reason for
anyone to hurt her. A few days later, the mother of the woman
attacked rings the police station. Her granddaughter has drawn a
shocking picture. It seems she was looking out of the window when
her mother was attacked. And when her grandmother asks the young
girl who the person with the weapon is, she whispers two words. Bad
Santa. The rumours start spreading, and none of the city's women
feel safe - which one of them will be next? He's got a list. It's
quite precise. It won't matter even if you're nice. Ross Greenwood
is back with his bestselling series, perfect for fans of Mark
Billingham and Ian Rankin. Praise for Ross Greenwood: 'Ross
Greenwood is at the top of his game.' Owen Mullen '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

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
