Two famous detectives from London, Alastair Crispin and Evelyn Quinn, are requested to join the South African Police Service in Johannesburg, South Africa, to investigate mysterious murders happening throughout the country. With a story surrounded by mystery, thriller, suspense, and religion, come take a journey with the detectives and uncover the truth. 

Reading Tips: The story involves a lot of hidden clues and meanings derived from real people, events, that secretly tells you what the story is all about from the beginning. It is up to you to decipher what everything means and how it all ties in together. I got my ideas for the story based off the negative influence that we brought upon ourselves as a society and how we sort of allow it all to continue happening.
