The Ghost Killer

By David Mills

Release : 2022-04-28

Genre : Mysteries & Thrillers, Books

Kind : ebook

(0 ratings)
Post-apartheid South Africa dragged along some post-traumatic stress disorders into the new democracy and not all the wars were fought inside the country. Here, a special services veteran who was neither debriefed nor re-socialised back into his society, takes revenge on his previous masters.
Pretoria is best known for its beautiful Jacaranda trees. Tonight, Robert is not seeing the beauty of the city.  The brutally murdered body of another young woman has been found at Fort Klapperkop. This victim died in the same manner as all the others that he has seen before.
Again, no leads are left at the crime scene for him to follow.  It is like they are dealing with a ghost.
Robert Mears, a senior detective at the SAPS, Serious and Violent Crime Unit in Pretoria, finds himself looking into the tear-drenched eyes of the young girl’s father.  He makes a promise to the grief-stricken old man that he will find the killer and bring him to justice. Robert must now live up to the promise that he made. As he searches the murder site the next day, he meets Crystal, a reporter for the local newspaper. From their first meeting, it is obvious that there is more than professional courtesy between them. She makes him feel good to be alive. Crystal is beautiful and used to the attention she receives from men.  She knows how to handle them and get them to do her every bidding but for the first time in her life, she doesn’t feel in control.  In Robert’s presence she wants to surrender herself.  How much of the investigation can he tell her? Can he trust her enough to tell her everything?
As Robert makes a breakthrough in his investigation, he unexpectedly gets a telephone call from General De Kock, who oversees the special forces of the South African defence force. From this phone call, Robert realises that the suspect is one to be reckoned with, a man to be approached with utmost caution.  Is Robert a match for one of the special forces’ best trained men?
