ONE SHOT

The enigmatic and darkly compelling Harry O'Connor, better known as Badger, is back in a fourth gripping crime thriller from Amanda Coetzee.

This time the Major Crimes detective must pit his skills, and wits and dedicated team against a deadly sniper whose dark past in Afghanistan and shady dealings in South Africa have come back to haunt the streets of Bedford as they explode in an unprecedented drug war. The ex-sniper from the British Armed Forces is a suspect in a series of killings and, despite the unusual affinity that Badger feels for the man, he must put aside his own devastating personal loss to track him down – from the rooftops of Bedford to the diamond auctions of the North West province – to prevent the body count from climbing any higher. AMANDA COETZEE works as a high school English teacher. She grew up in Bedford, England, and now lives in Potchefstroom with her husband and son. One Shot is Coetzee's fourth nail-biting crime thriller featuring the dark and enigmatic hero Badger. It follows on from the success of Bad Blood (2011), Redemption Song (2012) and Flaming June (2013).
