The Deranged Visitor: An SA Police Series Suspense Story, Book 8

8. THE DERANGED VISITOR - SA POLICE SERIES

Constable Jurie Slabbert’s routine assignment to escort the dangerous and mentally unstable Casper Ferreira by train to an institution in Pretoria devolves into a life-threatening nightmare. The journey through the desolate Karoo becomes a breeding ground for a tension that culminates in Ferreira’s violent and cunning escape, leaving Slabbert injured and defenceless in the darkness.

Driven by a sense of duty, the young constable refuses to give up. Unarmed and with pain his only companion, he embarks upon a relentless pursuit through the unforgiving landscape. The trail leads him to Oudeberg, a remote farm where the true, terrifying nature of Ferreira’s madness is revealed. This is no random destination. The Human family residing there shares a dark and violent history with the fugitive, a secret that places Renske, their beautiful daughter, at the very centre of a lethal obsession.

Slabbert’s hunt transforms into a desperate struggle for survival when he himself becomes a hostage within the fortified farmhouse. Within the walls of Oudeberg, a psychological thriller unfolds in which old wounds are torn open, an innocent life is taken, and Ferreira’s plans to escape with Renske reach a feverish intensity. The house becomes a pressure cooker of fear and hatred, and each passing second brings the captives closer to an explosive climax. When Ferreira flees into the wilderness with his precious prize, Jurie is confronted with the greatest test of his career. The pursuit shifts to a treacherous mountain range, a terrain where Ferreira knows every rock and ravine. The cat-and-mouse game becomes a battle against time, the elements, and a man with nothing to lose. Can one man, driven by courage alone, stop an armed madman before the mountains become the final, tragic chapter of this bloody saga?
