'An impressive and well-executed debut novel, toeing the line between mystery, suspense, and sf. Readers who enjoy ... Stieg Larsson or Louise Penny will find this title a chilling read.'
Library Journal
Michelle Pretorius's epic debut weaves present and past together into a hugely suspenseful, masterfully plotted thriller.
Somewhere on the South African veld, 1901: At the height of the Boer War, a doctor at a British concentration camp conducts a series of grim experiments on Boer prisoners. His work ends in chaos, but two children survive: a boy named Benjamin, and a girl named Tessa.
One hundred years later, a disgraced young police constable is reassigned to the sleepy South African town of Unie, where she makes a terrifying discovery: the body of a woman, burned beyond recognition. The crime soon leads her into her country's violent past – a past that includes her father, a high-ranking police official under the apartheid regime and the children left behind in that long-ago concentration camp.
