Product Description

An antiques dealer robbed and killed, and the only clues are a scrap of blank paper and the unusual weapon used. Now ex-cop Zatopek ‘Zed’ van Heerden has fourteen days in which to fill in the blanks in this dead man’s past—a past which only seems to begin in 1983.

“Layers and layers of criminal history and political intrigue are exposed in DEAD AT DAYBREAK.”
      —New York Times Book Review
