Sinopsis

2. THE MISSING GIRL - FABEL RETIEF SERIES

Fabel Retief, the legendary former detective, has exchanged the perilous streets of Johannesburg for the tranquil Lowveld. He is done with the world of crime, but the photograph of a missing girl in the morning paper, the beautiful Rita Grimbeeck, refuses to leave him in peace. Her smile and bright eyes haunt him, and when his old colleague, Captain Valk Mare, appears unexpectedly and asks for his help, Fabel is irrevocably drawn back into the underworld he had tried to leave behind. What initially appears to be a simple disappearance quickly unravels into a web of mysteries.

Who is the enigmatic new boyfriend, John Carlton, with his powerful red sports car? What is hidden behind the exotic Oriental dance lessons of the charming, yet suspicious Madame Lotte Riehmann? Her explanation that Rita is on an innocent pleasure cruise sounds too smooth, and Fabel’s sharp instincts warn him that deadly danger lurks beneath the surface. The case takes a bloody turn with a brutal murder and a dying message, “The Dolphin Jidda”. Suddenly, Fabel realizes he is not just searching for a man, but a phantom. A ruthless mastermind and a master of disguise who lures beautiful girls to an unthinkable fate.

In a desperate race against time, from the glittering lights of the city to the treacherous coast of Mozambique, Fabel must outwit his adversary. Will he be able to solve the riddle of the Dolphin before it is too late? And can one man stand against an international syndicate where betrayal and death lurk around every corner?
