3. THE BLOODHOUNDS BARK — SA POLICE SERIES
In the shadows of Pretoria’s political power plays, an audacious break-in becomes the spark in a powder keg. A cold, calculated killer, Albert Goernich, leaves a trail of blood in his wake after murdering a guard in cold blood and escaping with state secrets that gravely endanger national security. His desperate flight in a black Jaguar becomes an adrenaline-fueled pursuit by the police, forcing him deep into the untamed Bushveld.
On his trail is Detective Sergeant Kobus Roode, a man of the veld, a master tracker for whom the Bushveld holds no secrets. With his faithful bloodhounds at his side, a relentless hunt begins. But Goernich is no ordinary fugitive. He is cunning, resourceful, and part of a larger, more dangerous syndicate that will not hesitate to eliminate anyone who stands in its way. The case takes a dark, personal turn when the desperate Goernich takes an innocent farming family hostage, ultimately disappearing into the wilderness with their daughter, Jeanette Booysen. The hunt transforms into a rescue mission. Kobus, now alone and cut off from his team, must delve deep into his knowledge of the veld to track down the kidnappers.
When a violent confrontation leaves Kobus and Jeanette unarmed and stranded, they find refuge on the remote farm of the seemingly hospitable Bernhardt le Roux. But in the stillness of the Bushveld, nothing is as it seems. Kobus soon realizes this farm is not a sanctuary, but the possible epicentre of a deadly conspiracy. The hunter becomes the prey. Trapped and cut off from the outside world, Roode must fight not only for his own life and that of Jeanette but also to uncover the truth behind a plot far larger and more dangerous than he could ever have imagined. In a place where help is miles away and every friendly face could conceal a killer, his sharpest weapon is his mind, but will it be enough?
