Die by the sword. Tony Park. 2025.

Three bodies are found scattered across South Africa.

Detective Santi van Rwnsburg and former soldier Adam Kruger are each on the trail of a murder mystery - from the shores of themIndian Ocean to a farm invasion in KwaZulu-Natal.

More than a century earlier, in the aftermath of the blood-soaked battles of the Anglo-Zulu War, police officer Peter Gregory is investigating the third body. And he’s on a secret mission to find the lost sword of the great Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. But he’s not the only one who wants it.

These three investigations are on a dangerous collision course.

Because people will kill for a symbol of power.
