About this audiobook
One dagger murdered a man in his shop.
A second, identical dagger, has vanished.
Along with it, a secret worth killing for.
In the bustling heart of Johannesburg, brilliant former detective Fabel Retief is pulled from his peaceful Lowveld farm back into the shadows he desperately tried to escape. An opulent antiques dealer has been impaled by an exotic Eastern dagger, and the crime scene whispers of a much deeper, darker story that spans continents and decades.
The investigation spirals into a deadly game of cat and mouse when the victim’s beautiful, enigmatic daughter is abducted by a phantom-like killer who is always one step ahead. Fabel is plunged into a mystery involving a legendary sunken treasure ship, the Golden Dragon, an unforgivable betrayal on the untamed coast of Angola, and an ancient map that promises a fortune... or a watery grave.
Fabel isn’t just hunting a killer. He’s hunting a ghost from the past, a master of disguise who will stop at nothing to protect his secrets. With his own life on the line, Fabel must unravel the truth before the hunter becomes the hunted.
A gripping international action thriller that will keep you guessing until the final page. Perfect for fans of Wilbur Smith and classic adventure mysteries.
If you love pulp, action, and mystery, don’t miss the start of the Fabel Retief series. The Golden Dragon awaits, but so does danger. Begin your adventure now.
