Book Description
South Africa, 1997: Superintendent Baston of the Security Branch is stabbed to death in a police safe-house in Durban. When seven days pass with no arrests the citys top detective, Senior Superintendent Jack Forrester, is assigned the investigation. From the moment he is handed the case file by Inspector Jackson, his Security Branch liaison, he knows vital facts are being kept from him and that his every move is being watched.
The crime scene itself is an enigma, and Forresters inquiries bring him into conflict with the Security Branch as it jealously guards information about Baston and his work. The trail takes him from drug traffickers to a disbanded terrorist army, the bodies of two more policemen, and the discovery of a connection between Moslem vigilantes and a sinister, international, terrorist network. As each piece of the puzzle brings him closer to the truth behind the superintendents murder, he realises he must trust no one, and question everything.
When Forrester makes an arrest, he realises hes become the unwitting victim of both Jackson and the terrorists the Security Branch are hunting. As the danger escalates, he makes a drastic decision in a desperate bid to avoid a wave of terror that leads to more than a hundred bombs being detonated in the garden city of Cape Town and, ultimately, the horror of September 11.
