Red Tide (Catalyst International Crime)

From the two-time winner of the ATKV Prize for Best Suspense Fiction comes Red Tide... Deep in the South African Karoo, a small desert town runs red with old grudges and deadly secrets. Three years after his niece is found dead the week of her wedding, Jaap Reyneke, a retired detective, is still doggedly looking for answers. Why was her body displayed so carefully, like a macabre art installation? Who erased all correspondence from her devices? But the townspeople of Carnarvon seem content to let dead bodies lie. Desperate for help, Jaap turns to Sarah Fourie, a convicted hacker seeking reprieve from her own demons. Together, they sniff out the truth of Janien's death, setting in motion a chain of events that will tear the town apart from within.
