Listening to this thriller, listeners will find themselves cast into a strange world in which politics, law, and race relations are very different from what they're accustomed to.

Narrator Simon Vance walks listeners through an unfamiliar land and a story that takes place in 13 hours. Detective Benny Griessel is determined that no more innocent blood will be spilled, and Vance lets listeners share in his determination and frustration.

HTML:A #1 bestseller in South Africa! A potent, fast-paced thriller, and a brilliant portrait of life in South Africa. Some would call Detective Benny Griessel a legend. Others would call him a drunk. Either way, he has trodden on too many toes over the years ever to reach the top of the promotion ladder, and now he concentrates on staying sober and mentoring the new generation of crime fighters: mixed race, Xhosa, and Zulu. But when an American backpacker disappears in Capetown, panicked politicians know who to call: Benny has just thirteen hours to save the girl, save his career—and crack open a conspiracy which threatens the whole country..
