Synopsis

5. THE TREASURES OF MONOMOTAPA - SA POLICE SERIES

The cold-blooded murder of a young constable and his colleague at a remote drift in the Northern Transvaal bushveld brings the formidable Detective Sergeant Kobus Roode from Johannesburg to the scene. The victims’ last visit was to a nearby archaeological camp, where the eccentric Professor Jarvis was supposedly searching for the legendary treasures of Monomotapa.

But the professor has vanished, and the accounts of his two assistants, the slick, dangerous Rodrique and his gigantic henchman, Kraster, ring false. Roode soon realises that he is not dealing with ordinary villains. He is quickly drawn into a deadly game, where every clue lures him deeper into a web of greed and betrayal. The tension reaches a breaking point when the beautiful and intrepid farm owner, Lettie Botha, is brutally attacked in a cunning ploy designed to cut Roode off from the outside world and any assistance.

When the mastermind behind the operation reveals his true, infamous identity, the hunt for a murderer transforms into a desperate struggle for survival. With Lettie as a hostage and a fortune at stake, the ruthless criminal races through the dark bushveld to escape with his loot. Cut off, unarmed, and with the clock ticking mercilessly, Roode must delve deep into his bushcraft and courage to outwit a man for whom murder is just another move in the game. Can one man reclaim a legend’s treasure and save the woman who has stolen his heart, or will the wilderness become a grave for them all?
