When the South African Police Service receive a panicked call for help from the wayward daughter of a former Apartheid-era politician, they discover only her body but, within it, a message which will take Colonel Vaughn de Vries and Don February of the Special Crimes Unit on a journey through their country - and their country's past - to decipher and resolve. As organised crime grips South Africa, new players arrive in Cape Town, determined to exploit the poor and hopeless, promising redemption. While other government agencies snap impotently at the small fish, De Vries, linked by a personal connection, resolves to follow this trail to its source and take it down from the top. As decades old webs of corruption and influence are exposed, and the boundaries of morality blur, his decisions begin to impact on his friends, colleagues and family.… (mehr)

This series has been fantastic. The first book "The first Rule of Survival" set up all of the characters, and what makes them tick. The second book "The Serpentine Road" really started to bring everything together. It is this third book in the series "The History of Blood" where the flow of this police procedure series begins to shine like you knew it would.
Take what for many readers is an unknown country (South Africa, specifically Cape Town), add in all of the politics regarding the post apartheid government, exceptionally well crafted storytelling, truly evil bad guys, and a cop who is always thinking about the victim and will do anything to get the criminal, and you have a wonderful ( 3 books so far) series. The next book in the series is rumored to be coming in October.
All three books are available on Kindle, or you can buy the paperbacks from Book Depository. ( )

An exciting murder mystery set in South Africa.
Great read!
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Little, Brown Book Group via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review. ( )
