Sinossi

6. MURDER IN THE MINE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES
 
A deafening series of explosions rips through the Main Deep gold mine, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos in its wake. To the police, it appears to be a tragic accident, but for the legendary private detective Obed de Swardt, the wanderer detective, something is amiss. His instincts point to conspiracy.
 
His search for the truth immediately plunges him into mortal danger. The last, feverish words of a dying mining engineer, “the girl... at the party...” are the only clue, and they make Obed a target. He is abducted by two cunning and ruthless men who will go to any lengths to find out what he knows. In a damp cellar, chained up and left for dead, Obed must rely on his resourcefulness and physical strength to escape a gruesome end. But his escape unleashes a merciless backlash. One by one, witnesses begin to vanish in apparent suicides and mysterious disappearances, while the trail of the mastermind behind the attacks grows ever colder. While his friend on the police force, Detective Sergeant Ekkie Eksteen, has his hands tied by official procedures, De Swardt finds himself in a solitary race against time.
 
His investigation leads him into the glittering world of high society, where he is caught in the web of a beautiful, enigmatic woman with a dark past. Her deadly charm and his own unexpected feelings for her threaten to cloud his judgement, just when he must keep his head clearest. He soon realises that the disaster at Main Deep was merely the beginning of a plot intended to bring South Africa’s gold industry to its knees. With an unseen enemy and the police viewing him as an obstacle rather than an ally, Obed must dig deeper than ever before. But in a game where loyalty is an illusion and betrayal is a weapon, the greatest danger might not be an assassin’s bullet, but the kiss of a beautiful seductress.
