WITH Sidney Gilroy FACILITATOR Elna van der Merwe
A marble in a victim's hand is the only clue that Petunia Moraleng, Sidney Gilroy's wonderful new detective, has as lead in her first case on Mooi Bay. The Free State plains are still deep in her veins and she has to think on her feet to keep detective Hendriks happy. With exceptional intrigue, tension and even humor, Gilroy shows with Bloedsomer, his fourth suspense novel, why he is so popular and respected. His debut, Klikbek, was nominated for several prizes, the follow-up, Middernag, was awarded the kykNET-Rapport film prize and Vlam was nominated for an ATKV Woordveertjie. Not bad for a digital specialist who writes for fun.
