Description

In the heart of Johannesburg, a city teetering on the edge of chaos, one journalist must confront her own demons while unraveling a web of deceit that reaches the highest echelons of power. In this gripping crime novel, "Catching Cobus," author Barbara Schreiner takes readers on a journey through the dark underbelly of South Africa's largest metropolis.

Lex Small, a small-time journalist haunted by her troubled past and consumed by her addiction to alcohol, stumbles upon a story that could make or break her career. As she delves into the affairs of a powerful corporation, she uncovers a web of fraud and corruption that extends far beyond the boardroom. With each step she takes closer to exposing the truth, the danger escalates, and Lex realizes that powerful forces will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.

Guided by an unwavering determination to seek the truth, Lex enlists the help of Ferdie, a seasoned and now retired journalist. But when Ferdie is brutally murdered, Lex finds herself alone, pursued by a ruthless enemy. Her only hope of survival is to unearth the evidence that will bring down the corrupt head of the company and the senior politician pulling the strings.

As Lex races against the clock through Johannesburg's stark divide of extravagant wealth and crumbling infrastructure, she must confront the demons that threaten to consume her. With her own life hanging by a thread, she must decide how far she's willing to go to expose the truth, knowing that every move brings her closer to the edge of darkness.

"Catching Cobus" is a gripping crime novel that immerses readers in a world where power, greed, and deceit reign supreme. Will Lex overcome her personal demons and finish the story that could bring down the mighty? Or will she become another casualty in a city where the line between justice and corruption is blurred beyond recognition?
