Description
Daddy’s Girl by Margie Orford is a tense and gripping crime thriller, the third instalment in the Clare Hart series.

As Clare dives into the dangerous underworld of gangs in the Cape Flats, she races against time to find the girl, navigating high-stakes risks, moral dilemmas, and life-threatening danger. Orford’s sharp, atmospheric writing captures both the urgency of the search and the harsh realities of crime in Cape Town.
