Sinopse

EFFIE THOMPSON was asleep. She was wearing an eau-de-nil satin nightgown. Her red hair, draped over one shoulder, tied with a ribbon, made an effective contrast.
She was dreaming in a rather agitated manner. She dreamed that she was dreaming about Callaghan. When the telephone at her bedside jangled she woke up and spent ten seconds considering if she were awake or asleep. She decided she was awake, took up the telephone, shot a quick glance at the clock on the table. It was two o'clock. The call, she thought, would be from Callaghan.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
        Readers embark on a heart-pounding journey that weaves together themes of survival, justice, and the unwavering resilience of the human spirit. This gripping narrative centers around Commander Robert Brown, a highly esteemed African-American Navy SEAL, who makes the momentous decision to retire from his illustrious career and reconnect with his beloved Uncle Pete in Jackson, Mississippi. However, fate has a different plan in store for him, thrusting him into a spine-tingling fight for survival against an evil group of Ku Klux Klan members who hunt black men for sport. 
         As the story unfolds, readers are simultaneously immersed in two parallel narratives. Special Agent Smith, Uncle Pete's former partner, joins forces with Uncle Pete to locate his missing nephew, newly retired Navy SEAL Commander Robert Brown. Both men unravel and expose the sinister workings of this malevolent group within the seemingly idyllic town of Rolling Hills, Mississippi. Meanwhile, Commander Brown, finding himself hunted by members of the Klan in the remote forests of Rolling Hills, must draw upon his exceptional tactical prowess, combat skills, and survival expertise to turn the tables on his pursuers. 
         What follows is an exhilarating game of cat and mouse, as Commander Brown cunningly uses his training and instincts to transform the unsuspecting racists into unwitting prey. Armed with the knowledge of their twisted game and fueled by his own unyielding determination, this decorated war hero becomes a force to be reckoned with. In a relentless pursuit of justice and vengeance, Commander Brown systematically eliminates his opposition, one by one, in a series of thrilling and gruesome confrontations.

    A riveting thriller from the acclaimed “King of South African crime” and the author of Blood Safari: “Deon Meyer is one of the unsung masters” (Michael Connelly).   Deon Meyer is a world-class writer whose page-turning thrillers probe the social and racial complexities of his native country. In Cobra, a famous English mathematician is kidnapped and his two bodyguards are killed at a guesthouse in the beautiful wine country outside Cape Town. It’s clearly a professional hit, and the spent shell cases offer a chilling clue: each is engraved with the head of a spitting cobra.   Meanwhile, in the city, a skilled thief is using his talents to put his sister through college. But he picks the wrong pocket, grabbing the wallet of a young American woman delivering something very valuable and dangerous to South Africa. The thief not only becomes the target of the deadly hit man known as the Cobra, but unwittingly holds the key to stopping a deadly international threat. It’s up to Captain Benny Griessel and his elite investigation team to find the pickpocket and track down the Cobra as the novel hurtles toward a brilliant, heart-stopping finale on the suburban commuter trains.   “Mr. Meyer, the leading thriller writer in his native country, traffics in crime-novel situations familiar the world over: drunken cops, charming robbers, dangerous murderers, sudden violence—and sometimes, issues of race.” —The Wall Street Journal
