Discover the most unputdownable and gripping crime thriller of the year. Winner of the Joffe Books Prize.

In apartheid South Africa, a young woman flees with a deadly secret. There is nowhere she can go. No one she can trust.

Augustine is a young mother on the run with a dangerous secret.

She seeks work as a maid in Greenside, an affluent neighbourhood in Johannesburg, where a wealthy housewife takes pity on her, offering both employment and refuge from Augustine's vengeful ex-boyfriend.
Augustine is driven by a need to protect her child and is forced to rely on the kindness of these strangers. But even hidden behind the walls of the prosperous Diamond family home, Augustine is not safe. Her every move is being watched.

In a city where trust is a rare commodity, she’s made a deadly mistake.

This absolutely gripping crime thriller is perfect for fans of Deon Meyer, J.M. Coetzee, Chris Hammer, Jane Harper, Chris Whitaker or Paul Mendelson.



About Sam Genever

I had written short stories, poems and travel journals under a pen name, Bianca M., and been published in South African magazines and journals in the 90s. I had also been published in various poetry journals around the same time, in England. But had not been writing steadily for some years, focussing instead on my career and family. Whenever I am in London, I take short courses at the Literary Consultancy. My assessments are also done at the LC.

I have self-published this novel on Amazon in August 2022.
