Bloody the Darkness: An Obed de Swardt Thriller, Book 2

2. BLOODY THE DARKNESS - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES

When the seasoned journalist Grant Huysman is blackmailed with the lives of his family in Europe, he has no choice but to undertake an impossible task. He must steal a top-secret treaty from the heavily guarded Belgian Embassy. The document contains information regarding South Africa’s uranium supplies, a secret that could shift the global balance of power.

But when his desperate wife, Anita, is involved in a tragic car accident in her attempt to stop him, the brilliant private detective, Obed de Swardt, and his friend, the physician Dr. Albert Uys, are unwittingly drawn into the case. Their attempt to help the unconscious woman rapidly escalates into a violent confrontation when unscrupulous agents arrive to abduct her and thereby keep the entire operation secret.

The incident unleashes a deadly game. To the ruthless spies, Obed and his friends are now loose ends that must be eliminated. While the police officially believe that a failed theft attempt and a subsequent suicide at the embassy conclude the matter, Obed knows this is only the beginning of the nightmare. He is convinced that the real crime went unnoticed. Caught in a web of international espionage, abductions, and life-threatening traps, the wandering detective must rely on his own intuition to expose the truth. With his friends held hostage and the clock ticking mercilessly, alone, Obed must brave an impenetrable fortress of diplomatic immunity to unmask the culprits. Can he uncover the truth behind the bloody darkness before it is too late? And what is the shocking secret that could bring the world to its knees?
