About this audiobook
He’d left the world of murder and mystery behind.
But when a beautiful girl’s smiling face vanishes from the headlines and into the shadows.
One man must return to the life he swore he’d forget.
Johannesburg, South Africa. Former star detective Fabel Retief has traded his badge for the quiet life of a farmer, haunted by the ghosts of his past. But the inexplicable disappearance of the enchanting Rita Grimbeeck from the front page of the morning paper awakens the instincts he fought so hard to bury. A plea from an old colleague is all it takes to pull him back in.
The trail leads him from the city’s darkest corners to the treacherous coast of Mozambique, uncovering a sinister conspiracy far deadlier than a simple missing person case. A mysterious finishing school for “Oriental dance,” a charming master of disguise, and a phantom ship called The Dolphin are all pieces of a terrifying puzzle. If Fabel fails, Rita and other innocent women will be sold into a life of unimaginable horror, lost forever.
Outmanned and alone, Fabel must unravel a web of international deceit where allies are enemies and the truth is a deadly weapon. To save the innocent, he must become the hunter once more, even if it means he’s the one being hunted.
This classic adventure thriller is a must-read for anyone who loves high-stakes mystery and relentless action. Perfect for fans of Alistair MacLean and Desmond Bagley.
For fans of pulp, action, and mystery, the case just got personal. In the electrifying second installment of the Fabel Retief series, finding The Missing Girl is only the beginning of the nightmare. Are you ready for the next chapter?
