A mother’s suicide threatens to destroy a family legacy. Her
sons, Sam and Daniel, are forced to leave their comfortable worlds behind and
search for a woman they believe can unlock the secrets that have remained
hidden. They are propelled into separate journeys from Los
Angeles Zambezi
where they are forced to confront a man known as Die Duiwel, the Devil. On
their adventures they will find themselves in a place where death is one breath
away, where thousands of children are disappearing into the darkness, and where
the woman they are searching for is on the hunt for revenge. When they stand
face-to-face with the forgotten slaves of Africa they
will fight to redeem what has been lost.
Teaser Excerpt:
Drops
of rain turned into a torrential downpour as Danny and Sam stood drenched at
the edge of a deep hole and a fresh mound of dirt. The casket had already been
lowered into the ground, evident by the arm of a crane hovering overhead. A
groundskeeper kept his distance a few yards away, careful to allow the boys their
final goodbye.
A
week ago they were living their own life, far removed from the darkness that
had stolen their mother. One shouldered the guilt of a tarnished legacy while
the other grew increasingly restless to return to his isolated world.
Danny
was still reeling from his face to face with Bowman. How were they going to pay
back the money? Where was the money? Why was it stolen in the first place?
Should they even do anything, since neither was legally liable? He needed
answers.
A
wave of anger flushed over Danny as he thought of all his family had lost.
Thousands of sermons preached by a man who now seemed as addicted to the
almighty dollar as the people who passed the offering plate. He knew his father
kept secrets, but nothing had prepared him for the news Bowman planted on him.

you’ve unlocked the

DISILLUSIONED does sound like a book that will open my eyes as to the extent of human trafficking.
