The Fateful Date

He was searching for adventure.

He found a tombstone in a wasteland.

In the desolate wasteland of South West Africa, a place locals call the Coast of Death, stands a grand, fortified mansion that has no right to exist. For retired detective Fabel Retief, it’s a mystery too tempting to ignore. But the house is not as empty as it seems, and its secrets are protected by a man who will kill to keep them buried.

Inside, Fabel finds a brilliant, secretive German professor and his beautiful, terrified wife. His relentless curiosity unearths a sunken WWII ship packed with rifles, a ruthless gun-running scheme fueling a bloody uprising, and a conspiracy of lies and murder. Trapped, hunted, and marked for death, Fabel is the only thing standing between a cold-blooded mastermind and an entire region being plunged into chaos.

A classic, high-octane adventure thriller that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean, Wilbur Smith, and heart-pounding pulp fiction.

You know the name. You know the risks. Now, prepare for the showdown. The Fateful Date is the explosive fourth chapter in the Fabel Retief saga you can't afford to miss.
