I've read a couple of books featuring Captain Sannie van Rensburg but in this one she has moved from living and working near the Krugar National Park to the coast south of Durban in South Africa. A complete change for her.

Here she encounters Adam Krugar, a man in his 50's doing a PHD, working as a car guard at a shopping centre, doing up his parents house so he can sell and generally leading a low key lifestyle. Keeping out of trouble. That changes when he stops an armed robbery from taking place and gets national notoriety and meets Sannie who takes his statement.

It slowly comes to light that they have a connection via a friend of Sannie, Mia Greenway, who's father use to be in the same army unit as Adam. Sannie is planing on visiting Mia for a holiday who works at a lodge in the north west of the country. Out of her generosity she offers Adam a lift to the lodge as he wants to attend the funeral of another member of his army unit who recently died. They are set on a path to confront Adam's past and the mysterious death of members of the unit that had fought in the Border Wars in the 1980s.

An enjoyable and informative read about things that a lot of people might not be aware of. I like the characters, the nice ones at least, and the story is interesting. At it's heart it's a crime mystery. The problem is finding the crime and then the perpetrator.
