Requiem in E Sharp — Joan De La Haye

A troubled detective



A tormented serial murderer



Sundays in Pretoria are dangerous for selected women.



A murderer plagued by his childhood, has found a distinctive modus operandi to salve his pathological need to escape the domination of the person who was supposed to cherish him.



As The Bathroom Strangler's frenzy escalates and the body count mounts, Nico van Staaden, the lead detective on the case, finds himself confronting his own demons as he struggles to solve the murders of the seemingly unconnected victims. The lack of evidence in the sequence of deaths and pressure from his superiors are challenges he must overcome.



The resolution is bloody, savage and merciless.
