About this listen

They killed her best friend. Now they are chasing Rachel Anderson through the streets of Cape Town. The young tourist doesn’t trust anyone - except her father, back in America. When he puts pressure on the politicians, they know that they must find Rachel before the killers do. So Benny Griessel - detective, maverick and father - has just 13 hours to crack a conspiracy which threatens the whole country.

Tense thriller, that leaves you feeling hunted. At times too well described for comfortable listening, but is fast paced and as ever exceptionally well narrated. Thrilling ending.

an absolute "must have". A fast and suspensful story, lot's of interesting and colourful characters and the best narrator I know. Even though the plot was too slim for my liking the story told was one of the best especially with Saul Reichlin making up all the different southafrican accents - a fantastic listen !

It was one of those books that you race back to in order to keep on listening. I was totally captivated by the story & the narrator was absolutely excellent.

Gripping! I couldn’t stop listening

As the title suggests the book zings long at a great tempo but it still leaves you guessing until a good distance through the book. It becomes a little predictable toward the end, but by then you are ready for the finale anyhow. I think a little more time could have been spent perhaps intertwining the perspective of the bad guys to make you dislike them a little more intensely, thus making the ending more dramatic, but none the less, I really enjoyed this! Its gritty, different and vivid in its storytelling.

Fast paced and involved.
