商品簡介
A riveting historical thriller rich with shocking, fantastical twists
In a gripping tale of race and murder, The Monster's Daughter takes us on a searing yet spellbinding journey through the treacherous history of South Africa, in one of the most original and exciting debuts sinceThe Time Traveler's Wife.
After a fling with one of her superiors, young policewoman Alet Berg is reassigned from her big city beat to a small village in the country, where she makes a horrific discovery: the body of a young woman, burned beyond recognition. It immediately proves a tough case: none of the villagers are willing to speak, easpecially to a transplant from the city whose stubbornness rubs even her colleagues the wrong way.
And meanwhile what Alet doesn't know may kill her: The murder has its roots in the Boer War, over a century before, when a doctor at an internment camp conducted a series of vicious medical experiments in pursuit of a simple, terrifying goal: the creation of a master race to rule South Africa.
The darkness of South Africa's past and the brutality of its present converge in Michelle Pretorious's ambitious debut thriller. Hugely suspenseful and masterfully plotted,The Monster's Daughter will surprise you all the way up to explosive conclusion.
