Nothing has been able to draw Captain Pieter Strauss home to South Africa's Elgin Valley. Since an argument sixteen years ago, he and his father Zef have hardly spoken a word to each other. Then the body of a young activist who had declared war on the white farmers is found in the old water reservoir on Strauss' farm. The local police have already arrested a suspect: Zef Strauss. Pieter rushes to his father's aid from Cape Town, even though he himself is not convinced of his father's innocence. He quickly gets caught in a web of old conflicts, desperate riots and bloody murders. The second case for Captain Pieter at the Cape of Lost Hope. Long-awaited sequel to "Deadly Mother City" - Captain Pieter's most personal case.
Reviews:
"A picturesque region, the social frictions of a "rainbow nation", a thrilling murder case and the troupe of the special unit "Valke", dear from "Deadly Mother City", have combined to a thriller with high entertainment value."–starred review.
