Margie Orford
Publication of Like Clockwork announces the arrival of Margie Orford, a major new force in crime writing.
'Margie Orford is a name you should commit to memory… Dr Clare Hart is set to become as popular as Patricia Cornwell’s forensic investigator Kay Scarpetta and Kathy Reich’s forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.' Oprah Magazine
When a beautiful young woman is found murdered on Cape Town’s Seapoint promenade, journalist and part-time police profiler Dr Clare Hart is drawn into the web of a brutal serial killer. As more bodies are discovered, Clare is forced to re-visit memories of the brutal rape of her twin sister and the gang ties that bind Cape Town’s crime rings. Is her investigation into human trafficking linked to the murders or is the killer just playing a sick game with her?
'Gritty, fast paced and violently realistic, Orford has created a Cape Town underworld whose depths reach into the far recesses of human depravity.' Saturday Star
