Festival

Chief Constable Piet Deventer has recently married and become a father. His life is upended when a young woman is killed at a music festival, only hours after his baby daughter is kidnapped.

Piet must push his family crisis aside and concentrate on the murder. The inquiry pulls him into a sordid underworld of drugs and the rock music scene, where he meets Harriet, the dead woman's sister. She makes a startling admission that raises the question of whether the two crimes are linked.

With the clock running, Piet has to unravel the connections between the dead woman, the festival and his daughter before it is too late. This is the second case featuring Piet Deventer from J.R.L. Anderson.
