Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Clare Hart (3) Prijzen
How far would you go? A little girl waits alone to be picked up after ballet class--until an unmarked car approaches, and she is gone. But this little girl is the daughter of Police Captain Riedwaan Faizal. He is desperate to rescue her, but, suspended from the squad, he finds himself powerless. With nobody on his side, the captain turns to investigative journalist and criminal profiler Dr. Clare Hart, whose documentary about Cape Town's missing young girls has made her a local celebrity. Clare knows that the odds of a child's survival dwindle with each passing minute. She knows that hiding her investigation from the police has its own dangers. But she will do anything to help a heartbroken father ... even if it puts all their lives at risk. Daddy's Girl is a dark and compelling crime story that will thrill fans of Deon Meyer and Tess Gerritsen. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

South African Margie Orford was born in London, grew up in Namibia and lives in Cape Town, where this book is based. This is the story of police captain Riedwaan Faizal, ably assisted by Dr Clare Hart, and his attempts to find his six-year daughter who has disappeared from outside her dance school. His efforts are greatly hampered by the fact that he is the chief suspect and, so, much of the investigative work is left up to Clare Hart who has resources available to her that he does not, given the circumstances. The myriad of other characters and their varied associations and involvements make for an involving storyline that demands your attention and which does not fail to deliver in terms of tension, grit, pace and action. The fact that child abduction and child murder are central to the story might make for a certain discomfort for some, but given the environment that was and is (?) South Africa, it is a reality and therefore a subject that cannot be denied. I have to say too that Cape Town comes across as a scary and dangerous place, and from my little understanding of the facts, the storyline is here, too, merely reflecting a certain reality. These are not negative comments, for in fact I applaud the author in touching on real subjects and portraying some of the less savoury but real aspects of a particular society. This book wouldn't stop me going there, but it might ensure I go there prepared! A well plotted story this and a good read, I can well recommend. ( )
