Chasing Ghosts concludes the Catalyst International Crime Duology started in Phantom Pass as a killing spawns a hunt through a tangled web of drug gangs, political intrigue, and old apartheid mysteries that crisscrosses southern Africa.
As clues smolder on the freeway of Cape Town, Captain Josh Holland and Colonel Gavin Whitall of the SAPS Serious Crimes Unit in George, South Africa are sucked into a dangerous world of corruption overseen by politically appointed leadership as they search for the killer who left a prominent lawyer mutilated and floating in a small row boat on the tranquil waters of the Knysna estuary on South Africa’s southern tip. As Josh and Gavin dig into the victim's past, the body count rises while tantalizing clues from the war in apartheid South Africa point to old hatreds and past murders as potential instigators of the whirlwind of violence the detectives find themselves in. The sprint is on to prevent more killings even while careers and lives are threatened by powerful people and bureaucratic deceit in this twisting and relentless conclusion to Phantom Pass.
The Knysna Murder Duology explores the intricate thought process of solving a murder while navigating the modern reality of politicized policing.
