Experiencing Interruptions?

GRIEKWASTAD

The South African media screams ‘Farm murder’ in front page sensation as the beautiful Marthella — just fourteen years old — was shot in cold blood. As were her father Deon and mother Christel. Only the fifteen year old son Don escaped with his life.

Under the unrelenting expectations and disgust of a whole nation, detective colonel Dick de Waal has to search for the truth at Griekwastad. At the risk of losing his last, tenuous grasp on innocence.
