About Die by the Sword
From the master of adventure, a heart-stopping chase across South Africa to find Napoleon’s priceless lost sword.
Three bodies are found scattered across South Africa.
Detective Sannie van Rensburg and former soldier Adam Kruger are each on the trail of a murder mystery – from the shores of the Indian Ocean to a farm invasion in KwaZulu-Natal.
More than a century earlier, in the aftermath of the blood-soaked battles of the Anglo-Zulu War, police officer Peter Gregory is investigating the third body. And he’s on a secret mission: to find the lost sword of the great Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. But he’s not the only one who wants it.
These three investigations are on a dangerous collision course.
Because people will kill for a symbol of power.
