The Fateful Date

4. THE FATEFUL DATE - FABEL RETIEF SERIES

Far in the desolate wilderness of South West Africa, near the notorious ‘Seekus van die Dood’, stands a forgotten mansion, Abendruhe. The ghostly legends surrounding the place are an irresistible lure for Fabel Retief, a restless former detective with an unquenchable thirst for adventure.

His simple search for a good story, however, quickly degenerates into a struggle for survival. The house is not deserted. Within the dilapidated walls, he discovers the enigmatic Professor Ludwig Dittmar and his exquisitely beautiful, yet clearly oppressed wife, Irma. Dittmar is a man with a dark secret, and he shrinks from nothing and no one to protect it. Fabel’s curiosity plunges him into a perilous game of cat and mouse. He uncovers evidence of an ominous conspiracy, a secret sea chart, notes on old naval affairs and a forgotten shipwreck with a deadly cargo.

Trapped in this web of betrayal, with merciless henchmen on his trail, Fabel must not only fight for his own life but also to reveal the truth behind Dittmar’s sinister activities. Meanwhile, the clock is ticking down to an ominous date, 16 April. A day circled on a calendar with fear and anticipation. Who is the mysterious figure expected on this fateful day, and will Fabel survive long enough to find out?
