A savagely mutilated body sets in motion the hunt for yet another serial killer, one who is preying on single women.
Chad and the `gappers' are soon faced with more bodies, but with nothing to go on the investigation looks bleak. But alas, another killer strikes, adding to their misery and distracting them from the task at hand.
When one of the killers begin taunting them, Chad Steyn and the `gappers' are even more motivated in solving the mystery! It would seem the `Sword' and the `Ripper' are competing serial killers. The investigation team once again battles the rising crime situation, the political conniving, and corruption within the government, whilst trying to live their lives away from the public view.
This gripping story is set in present day South Africa. It is another gripping tale of justice and commitment, filled with gruesome scenes and strong language, certainly not meant for children. This is the third novel in the Chad Steyn crime series, by the great South African novelist, Brynn Hardeman.
