‘Superlative…One of the most chilling books on crime that I have ever read…I found this book absolutely terrifying…Cracking entertainment – a knockout.’ – Jenny Crwys Williams, Radio 702
She tells herself an hour is not so long to wait, and steps outside. The street is empty. Then she hears the car. She keeps still. That saves you if you are in danger. Her daddy says so. Friday evening. A deserted street below Table Mountain. A six year-old ballerina waits alone for her mother to fetch her. Then an unmarked car approaches, and she is gone. Captain Riedwaan Faizal is a member of Cape Town’s elite Gang Unit. Tough and streetwise, he is used to being a target. But when the danger of his anti-gang war envelops his only daughter and he becomes the prime suspect in her abduction, there is little he can do. He turns to Dr Clare Hart, investigative journalist and criminal profiler. Their desperate search for the missing child, whose chances of survival diminish with each hour, unravels a web of deception and danger that puts all their lives at terrible risk.
