4. UNTAMED LOWVELD SERIES - TRACES IN THE DEW

On a moonlit night in the rugged South African Lowveld, a cruel massacre shocks the wilderness, not of humans but helpless cattle driven to their deaths over a cliff. As vultures gather, another predator lurks in the shadows, a fearless government agent investigating rampant fraud in the region’s gold trade. Armed with a revolver and unmatched courage, he navigates a web of danger and deceit.

When his life collides with Lettie Joubert, a fiery redhead managing her family’s troubled farm, suspicion and hostility give way to a partnership forged in peril. As Lettie defends her land against treacherous villains with ambitions beyond mere cattle theft, the two are drawn into a deadly conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Pilgrims Rest, a gold mining boomtown teeming with secrets.

Set against a backdrop of sweeping landscapes, ruthless criminals, and the era’s untamed lawlessness, Traces in the Dew is a gripping tale of bravery, betrayal, and an unlikely bond. As the agent and Lettie prepare for a climactic confrontation with their relentless adversaries, readers are taken on a journey of intrigue and romance amidst the chaos.

Will justice prevail in the wilderness, or will the villains’ greed devour everything in its path?
