A heart-stopping chase across South Africa to find Napoleon’s priceless lost
sword, by the master of adventure, Tony Park.
Three bodies are found scattered across South Africa. One on the shores of the
Indian Ocean, one in a farm invasion in modern KwaZulu-Natal, and one in
1880, in the aftermath of the Anglo-Zulu War.
Detective Sannie van Rensburg and marine biologist and former soldier Adam
Kruger are each on the trail of a mystery, while more than a century ago
colonial police officer Peter Gregory has a secret mission: to find the lost sword
of the great Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. But he’s not the only one who
wants it.
From the blood-soaked battlefields of colonial-era Zululand to the modern-day
political struggles over land and poaching in South Africa and war in the Middle
East, these investigations are on a dangerous collision course. Because people
will kill for a symbol of power.
