Review: €œALEXA is the 2nd novel in the explosive new crime thriller series. By far one of the best crime books I've read in a long time...exceptional...highly recommended€¦the characters and storyline are true to life.€

BOOK DESCRIPTION: Shortly after American business tycoon Arthur Morgan relocates his family to Cape Town, South Africa, his sixteen-year-old daughter Alexa is abducted. No ransom demand is made. Amidst a serial killer investigation where young girls are slaughtered in cult-related killings, Detective Captain Frank Dempsey from the Serious and Organised Crime Unit is called upon to find the missing girl. He identifies a link between the Cult Killer€s victims and Alexa€s abduction. Understaffed and racing against the clock, Frank relies on the help of his buddy and renowned criminal profiler Dr Liz Hamilton, to save Alexa and catch the killers. Frank reverts to unorthodox tactics, which see him demoted and exiled. His house is searched. DNA evidence from the Cult Killer crime scenes is found, resulting in his arrest. Is Frank behind the brutal slayings? Did he take Alexa?
Agent Nick Crowley and Dr Liz Hamilton are left to make sense of the mayhem. Will they find Alexa in time?
