5. EXECUTE THE SENTENCE - WANDERER DETECTIVE SERIES
A bloody escape from a prisoner transport vehicle plunges the city into chaos. Four merciless fugitives, led by the hardened Kenshoff, are at large, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. With the police hot on their trail, they are desperate for an escape and will do anything, and hurt anyone, to secure it.
Far from the scene of violence, the renowned private detective, Obed de Swardt, the legendary wanderer detective, is enjoying a tranquil evening with his closest friends. The gathering is, however, suddenly and brutally shattered when Kenshoff and his cronies descend upon the home, searching for car keys. In a moment of courage, Obed’s friends turn the tables, gaining the upper hand on the dangerous criminals. But then, in a shocking turn of events that leaves his friends stunned, Obed does the unthinkable. He betrays them, siding with the convicted saboteurs. Why would a man of his stature turn his back on everything to help cold-blooded murderers?
Obed is drawn deeper into an underworld of deceit and vengeance. He discovers the escapees are not merely fleeing, but are also hunting a mysterious syndicate that betrayed them. Alliances shift as swiftly as flying bullets when a beautiful yet lethal female mastermind appears on the scene. She is a player with her own deadly agenda, one who completely changes the rules of the game. Caught between the police hunting him as an accomplice, the unstable criminals who could kill him at any moment, and a powerful organisation that tolerates no witnesses, Obed must rely on his razor-sharp instincts to survive. In this deadly situation, where the line between friend and foe blurs, one thing is certain. Before the sun rises, blood will flow. The only question is, whose sentence will ultimately be carried out?
#WandererDetectiveSeries
Gerrie Radlof is the pseudonym of Gerrit Lubbe van Zyl (27/11/1923 - 20/9/1971) and is another of South Africa's top writers who died at a relatively young age in a car accident outside Melkbosstrand. He is especially known for his extremely popular Buiter (Raider) books (hardcover), but also achieved great heights with his well-known Oloff the Pirate (Oloff die Seerower) paperback series of stories. Then there is also his slightly lesser-known Ramala series, which is, however, his longest series of books, and also the Tamar series, which consists of only two books. Under Gerrie Radlof, he also wrote several books in the SA Police series and the Wanderer Detective (Swerwer Speurder) series. Gerrie Radlof wrote nine stories in the Wanderer Detective series. In short, the series is about a private detective by the name of Obed de Swardt. He lives with his wolfhound named Jagter (Hunter) and his personal chef named Amos, in Drie Gewels (Three Gables), a comfortably large house in Linden, Johannesburg. Then there is also his charming girlfriend Tessa Brink, who supports him in much of his private detective work. From a young age, Obed has been interested in criminology, and it is precisely this challenge of measuring his strength against criminals that gives him the adventure and zest for life he craves. Due to his excellent record, Obed also very quickly became known as the top wanderer-detective in the country. Furthermore, he is also a keen rugby player who plays for Transvaal in the wing position. Obed inherited a Bushveld farm from his father, and a foreman farms on his behalf there. The income generated from it is more than enough for Obed to live luxuriously. Despite the fact that Obed does not need to work, he does private detective work and tracks down most of his cases himself, for which he usually does not receive payment. Sometimes his one police friend, Eddie, contacts him to help with an important case that the police are struggling to solve themselves. Then there is also Jan Wiese, a good friend of Obed, who is a member of the editorial staff of a large daily newspaper in the city, and Obed always provides him with the newsworthy stories first, in exchange for his help from time to time. Each story is unique and packed with suspense and intrigue that will keep the reader guessing throughout and provide great enjoyment to read.
