3. THE DEADLY TRIANGLE — WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES
In the shadowy underworld of Johannesburg, the merciless Johnny Bizante reigns from his billiard hall and restaurant. When he requires payment, he dispatches his henchmen, the hardened Jak Nasbir and the newly released Ore Pieters, to collect it, with or without violence. Their latest target is Ben Vorster, a man who apparently owes a thousand pounds and refuses to pay. Following a brutal assault in his luxury Hillbrow apartment, they leave Vorster for dead and vanish into the night.
But they are not alone. A chilling voice from the dark back seat of their car announces the presence of the legendary wandering detective, Obed de Swardt. To Nasbir, he is a myth, but to Pieters, he is a “devil” from his past. With cold composure and lightning-fast fists, De Swardt forces the two thugs to their knees and thus unravels the first thread of Bizante’s web.
The following day, tragedy strikes Ben Vorster. He is found dead in a car accident on the Pretoria road. The police rule it an accident, but his exquisite fiancée, Lana Myburgh, refuses to believe it. She knows Ben had a secret, a secret for which he may have been murdered. In her desperate search for answers, she hires the services of another renowned private detective, Hannes Verwey. While two separate investigations are underway, De Swardt follows his own, more dangerous path. His trail leads him deep into a deadly triangle of extortion, perilous secrets, and cold-blooded violence, where the powerful Johnny Bizante pulls all the strings and his victims are counted among the city’s elite. As the bodies begin to pile up, De Swardt realises he is fighting an enemy who knows no bounds and will eliminate anyone who dares to stand in his way, including the only woman who might hold the key to the mystery. Can De Swardt uncover the truth before another victim falls, and in a world where no one is who they seem to be, who can truly be trusted?
