Vendetta by Tony Park, Australia’s favourite crime/thriller author, is his latest novel featuring best-loved characters – Captain Sannie van Rensburg and safari guide Mia Greenaway. These intrepid women find themselves involved in the intrigue and bitterness of a decades-old dispute between five veterans, who served together in South Africa’s apartheid-era Border War.
Conflicted by the fatal mission that changed their lives forever, these ex-paratroopers are forced to confront and deal with their demons when they are brought together by the funeral of a comrade. The beauty and harshness of the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert form the backdrop to the battle with each other and their own consciences.
Over the years in between, however, their scars run deep, both physically and mentally. As the truth begins to painfully emerge, each one of them must ask himself – “When serving your country, what makes you a hero and what secrets are worth killing for?”
Another nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat novel from this talented author, whose narrative conveys the smell and taste of the dust, the frightening power of battle lust, and, an accurate history of those times, to the reader.
For those with more tender hearts, however, there is love and intrigue between the characters to enjoy, not forgetting the beauty, the magic, and the amazing wildlife that inhabit the Kalahari!
A definite must-read for 2023!
