Summary

3. THE BLOODHOUNDS BARK - SA POLICE SERIES
 
In the shadows of Pretoria’s political power plays, an audacious break-in becomes the spark in a powder keg. A cold, calculated killer, Albert Goernich, leaves a trail of blood in his wake after murdering a guard in cold blood and escaping with state secrets that gravely endanger national security. His desperate flight in a black Jaguar becomes an adrenaline-fueled pursuit by the police, forcing him deep into the untamed Bushveld.
 
On his trail is Detective Sergeant Kobus Roode, a man of the veld, a master tracker for whom the Bushveld holds no secrets. With his faithful bloodhounds at his side, a relentless hunt begins. But Goernich is no ordinary fugitive. He is cunning, resourceful, and part of a larger, more dangerous syndicate that will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in its way. The case takes a dark, personal turn when the desperate Goernich takes an innocent farming family hostage, ultimately disappearing into the wilderness with their daughter, Jeanette Booysen. The hunt transforms into a rescue mission. Kobus, now alone and cut off from his team, must delve deep into his knowledge of the veld to track down the kidnappers.
 
When a violent confrontation leaves Kobus and Jeanette unarmed and stranded, they find refuge on the remote farm of the seemingly hospitable Bernhardt le Roux. But in the stillness of the Bushveld, nothing is as it seems. Kobus soon realizes this farm is not a sanctuary, but the possible epicentre of a deadly conspiracy. The hunter becomes the prey. Trapped and cut off from the outside world, Roode must fight not only for his own life and that of Jeanette but also to uncover the truth behind a plot far larger and more dangerous than he could ever have imagined. In a place where help is miles away and every friendly face could conceal a killer, his sharpest weapon is his mind, but will it be enough?

    An apparent suicide in a London townhouse uncannily mirrors a similar incident from twenty-five years ago, prompting Scotland Yard's George Flint to delve deep into the past in search of the solution to a long-forgotten mystery. 
     
     
     
    Meanwhile, Joseph Spector travels with a coach party through the rainy English countryside to visit an allegedly haunted house on a lonely island called Devil's Neck. The house, first built by a notorious alchemist and occultist, was later used as a field hospital in the First World War before falling into disrepair. The visitors hold a seance to conjure the spirit of a long-dead soldier. But when a storm floods the narrow causeway connecting Devil's Neck to the mainland, they find themselves stranded in the haunted house. Before long, the guests begin to die one by one, and it seems that the only possible culprit is the phantom soldier. 
     
     
     
    Flint's and Spector's investigations are in fact closely linked, but it is only when the duo are reunited at the storm-lashed Devil's Neck that the truth is finally revealed. Tom Mead once again creates a brilliant homage to John Dickson Carr and the Golden Age of mysteries with this intricately plotted puzzle.

    STRONG, SMART, AND FAST AND TOO SMART. That's how they described tomboy Hattie Dumond, born in bilingual New Orleans in 1914. No one, including Hattie, thought that would save her life two decades later. She struggled against the restrictions women faced in those early 20th century years. Yes, she's a tomboy, but can slip into the role of debutante, and trains her intellect to straddle both. 
      
    In Paris, she studies medicine at the Sorbonne, graduating as Hitler's Nazis invade France. Stranded in Europe, Hattie is forced to fend for herself and agrees to a marriage proposal by an officer in the French Army. It's the only way to get out of Paris before it's too late. 
      
    She learns to love Luke DeValcourt, the good man she marries, then loses him to a Nazi prison and Hattie joins the French Resistance to rescue him and others, then escapes with Luke across the Channel to England.  
      
    Trouble follows Hattie like a pebble stuck in a shoe. She can't see that danger will challenge her wherever she goes. Hattie has a lot to learn…if she lives. 
     Her return to Louisiana offers a lingering mix of pitfalls and danger that threaten her medical practice and the people she loves. What must she do to prevail? Will she? Or will she suffer the terrible consequences?
