Message for the Masked Robber: A Cape Dutch Historical Romance, Book 7

"When a ship is deliberately sunk, secrets and betrayal wash ashore with the waves…"

The ship Oostersee is intentionally wrecked on the coast. The villain, Hendrik Bierman, betrothed to Betta Fourie, planned the disaster to take the priceless Eastern cargo for himself. Someone overhearing it, changes everything, and the young Dawie Fourie is knocked unconscious and left for dead on the wreck.

Dawie survives, but now without his memory. Meanwhile, Betta grows uneasy about the nightly sounds echoing on her farm, Môrester. When she shares her fears with Willa de Moreaux, it draws the attention of the mysterious Masked Robber, the only man who can unearth the truth.

His investigation leads to a hidden tunnel, a smuggling plot, and a ruthless mastermind, Sarel van der Hooft, the effeminate son of a shipowner. As Bierman and Van der Hooft further their evil plans, the Masked Robber unravels their secrets and later becomes the target of a deadly trap himself.

With Dawie captured, three of his own men in chains, and the tunnel on the verge of collapse, the Masked Robber must launch his most dangerous gamble yet. Just one wrong step, and the earth itself will become his grave.

Can he rescue Dawie, expose the betrayal, and protect his secret identity, or will the Oostersee's final sacrifice be the Masked Robber himself?

A historical adventure filled with romance, suspense, and treachery, where every wave brings the Cape closer to ruin and only courage can survive the night.
