‘Margie Orford is a name you should commit to memory… Dr Clare Hart is set to become as popular as Patricia Cornwell’s forensic investigator Kay Scarpetta and Kathy Reich’s forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.’ – O: The Oprah Magazine
When a beautiful young woman is found murdered on Cape Town’s Sea Point promenade, investigative journalist and criminal profiler Dr Clare Hart is drawn into the web of a brutal serial killer. As more bodies are discovered, Clare is forced to revisit memories of the horrific rape of her twin sister and the gang ties that bind Cape Town’s crime rings. Are her investigations into human trafficking really linked to the murders or is the killer just playing sick games with her?
