Have you ever been on holiday and just wanted to stay? How far would you go for this newfound freedom? For P. I. Toni Mendez, the honeymoon seems over with her long-time best friend - recently turned girlfriend. Needing time to think, she takes on what looks like a straightforward missing person case in a coveted holiday destination. However, she soon realises this case might not be the stroll on a beach she had hoped for. Alice has lived a sheltered, privileged life, controlled and influenced by those around her, until one day, in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, she walks out. Cape Town, South Africa - renowned as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, with its white sand beaches, majestic Table Mountain, nearby wine lands, and scenic drives.
Behind the shiny tourist veneer, it is a place with a dark underbelly of crime and conflict; a city on the edge, where life is cheap and theft, murder and trafficking are business as usual. *** Winner of 2018 - NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite - World Literature ****** Winner of 2018 - NYC Big Book Award Distinguished Favorite - LGBTQ+ *** "Compelling, intriguing, fascinating and a terrific read!""Multi-layered and intelligently plotted...
