1. NIGHT OF NO MERCY — SA POLICE SERIES
Detective Sergeant Kobus Roode is a man of action, not one for office work. When a series of purported drownings, including those of two law enforcement officers, plunges the coastal town of Driehoeksbaai into a state of fear, he suspects the treacherous ocean currents are not the true culprit. Under the guise of a carefree holidaymaker, he infiltrates the ostensibly placid community, resolute in his mission to unearth the dark secret lurking beneath its idyllic facade.
His investigation, however, takes a fateful turn when he meets the devastatingly beautiful yet enigmatic Marsha Brackley. A relaxed afternoon on a remote beach descends into a nightmare when Kobus is unexpectedly ambushed by a monstrous gorilla and dragged into the treacherous surf. Left for dead, it becomes clear that the Brackley family, with their secluded estate and collection of wild animals, guards a lethal secret, one for which they will kill without hesitation.
But Kobus Roode is not so easily dispatched. While the town believes him to be the fifth victim, he must operate as a ghost in the shadows to unmask the truth. He finds an unexpected ally in the beautiful nurse, Annie le Roux. But in a place where no one can be trusted, she could prove to be his salvation or his final undoing. Before long, he uncovers sufficient information about a conspiracy, something vast and perilous, planned for a specific night. In a race against time, with the murderers relentlessly erasing their tracks, Roode must delve deeper than ever before. Trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, he must expose the truth behind the murders before the night of no mercy claims his final breath.
