    Additional text

    "Annas's writing is crisp and tense, with not a word wasted, as we follow the bitter fight for survival." — Sunday Times (South Africa)

    "On a remote farm, in what reads like a South African crime novel version of Night of the Living Dead, a diverse group of strangers with little in common are under siege by violent attackers. Those inside must work together not only to survive, but to understand why they’re being targeted in the first place." — CrimeReads "Five International Novels You Should Read This September"

    "A subtle, intelligent crime novel that leads with action and judiciously drip feeds character and meaning into the story along the way.”—Crime Time
