"Songs, Shadows & Cages (Special Edition)"

The streets of South Africa’s capital city don’t sleep; they stalk. Violence hums under the skin, and survival is always conditional. These three standalone thrillers rip open the moment predators choose the wrong targets—and pay for it. In Requiem in E Sharp, a broken detective hunts a serial killer known as the Bathroom Strangler—a meticulous predator who garrotes his victims and leaves them floating in bathtubs across Pretoria. In I Left Shadows in the Woods, a woman returns to the forest on the city’s edge where she was almost killed. She knows the man who hunts there. She’s seen the clearing filled with bones. This time, she’s not prey—she’s setting the trap. In The Fluttering Cage, a single bad decision on a Pretoria street leads to captivity, control, and survival by any means necessary. What begins as a nightmare becomes a reckoning when she—and the other women he tried to cage—decide they’re done obeying his rules. These are not stories about justice served cleanly. They are about obsession, trauma, and the moment fear curdles into something lethal. Songs, Shadows & Cages is a brutal collection for readers who want their thrillers dark, violent, and emotionally unflinching—where survival is earned, revenge is messy, and no one walks away untouched. Read it if you dare. Contains graphic violence and psychological trauma. Reader discretion advised.
