TRUST NO ONE.
Johannesburg, 1980s Apartheid South Africa. The neglected streets hum with tension as Augustine flees her vengeful ex-boyfriend with nothing but her child and the clothes on her back, terrified he will find her.
Because she also possesses a dangerous secret.
One he will kill for. One he will never stop hunting her for.
But Augustine is rescued by a wealthy white housewife who takes pity on her, offering both employment and refuge. Or so she thinks.
It might seem that she is safe inside the walls of the prosperous Diamond family home, but outside her every move is watched. Her sanctuary has become her prison.
In this city, where trust is a rare commodity, Augustine has made a mistake that could cost her everything.
This edge-of-your-seat atmospheric crime thriller is perfect for fans of Deon Meyer, Chris Hammer, Jane Harper, Chris Whitaker or Paul Mendelson.
Please note this is a fully revised version of Savage Territory.
