Sinossi

6. BONDS OF DEATH - FABEL RETIEF SERIES

In the dust-dry, peaceful village of Swartrand, where the biggest news is a new tennis chairman, the community is shaken to its very foundations. The beloved Alwyn Colenbrander, a man without enemies, has been murdered in cold blood in his study, an ancient dagger driven deep into his heart. With no leads, no motive, and a murder weapon wiped clean, the local police stand powerless before this seemingly impossible enigma.

Then a stranger arrives, a man with a reputation that precedes him. The legendary detective, Fabel Retief. Under the guise of an ordinary visitor, Fabel penetrates the town’s facade of tranquility, and his sharp eye soon falls upon the new barman. A man with a dark past and a shocking connection to Colenbrander’s beautiful widow, Renske. Fabel soon realises that the murderer is not just a stranger but a hardened ex-commando member, fuelled by years of pent-up hatred and vengeance.

What follows is a psychological game that explodes into a violent confrontation and a desperate flight, deep into the unforgiving wilderness of the Fish River Canyon. Here, in the heart of the abyss, the two arch-enemies are bound together in the most unimaginable way, by the iron grip of handcuffs. Shackled to the murderer, a struggle for survival begins for Fabel, where only one can win. Will his brilliant mind be enough to survive the bestial strength of an unscrupulous soldier, or will the “Shackles of Death” drag them both to a certain doom?

New Adventures of Sherlock...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Nora Godwin

The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Volume 2:
Throughout many years, Dr. John H. Watson accompanied his friend and companion Sherlock Holmes in solving countless mysteries and crimes. Beginning in the 1880s and into the 20th century, Holmes consistently held his status as the world’s most brilliant and successful detective. His accomplishments were painstakingly chronicled by Watson in notes that relate the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Many of his accounts have been published and are well-known to a broad readership.
There were times, however, when Watson would refrain from publishing his writings during his lifetime. He would do so for various reasons: At times, he would find himself forced to keep actual events and background information secret for moral, criminal, or financial reasons. Other times, he would want to either avoid potential political, legal, or social scandals or even damage to his own—or Holmes’s—reputation. Some of Watson’s accounts, however, were simply not published at the time because he was occupied with more important or urgent matters.
The New Adventures brings to the public for the very first time some of Watson’s accounts of Sherlock Holmes cases previously kept under lock and key.
