2000s: Racism rears its ugly head in Post -apartheid South Africa
The First Rule Of Survival (Col Vaughn de Vries 1)
What you need to know before your trail
Seven years ago, on three consecutive days, three young white South African schoolboys were abducted in broad daylight. They vanished from Cape Town never to be seen again
Colonel Vaughn de Vries finds himself thrust back into the case when something he’s working on now casts a light on the original enquiry. This case is personal to him as he’s always considered it a personal failure which has haunted him for years.
As he gets deeper and deeper into the case however, he gets more information, some from friends and colleagues but he has no idea who he can really trust. This case is not going to be easy – on any score.
Travel Guide
Set against the South Africa landscape, this is an insight into the South African psyche and the level of political corruption and abuse that exists on all levels of those in power and those within it’s police force. This is post-apartheid South Africa with all the complications and blurred lines that that entails. The race issue both with society and the police force still rears its ugly head.
The South African scenery however takes your breath away – contrasted with a dark dark crime scene
” Beyond it, the vista of endless fruit trees, straight lines leading to dark rolling mountains”
Scene’s deteriorating by the minute in this heat”
It’s the heat and humidity of Cape Town and the expanse of the South African veld, which really ramps up the tension and evokes a crime setting like no other. A very unique landscape both physically and politically
