A massacre in a church. A country on the brink of civil war. And the biggest gold heist in living memory.

Ben Gabriel was once a soldier in the elite British Special Forces, but that was before his dishonourable discharge and his subsequent descent into a life of crime.

But Gabriel might just be the only person who can discover the truth behind the horrific church massacre that has devastated an Afrikaans farming community. The message that this is “only the beginning” sparks the fear of genocide.

Were the killings the start of genocide? Or was this murder?

Gabriel needs to discover the truth before the country erupts into civil war. But he has a few problems of his own, not least of which is that he is on the run as a suspect in the biggest gold heist in living memory.

Murderous is the second book in the Gabriel series of thrillers set in the turbulent political landscape of South Africa.

Can Gabriel do it? Can he evade the wealthy and save the country?
