Description
Die by the Sword by Tony Park is a historical adventure thriller that weaves together multiple timelines in a race to uncover one of history’s greatest lost treasures. When three bodies are discovered under vastly different circumstances—one on the KwaZulu-Natal coast, one during a modern farm invasion, and one in the aftermath of the Anglo-Zulu War—Detective Sannie van Rensburg, marine biologist and former soldier Adam Kruger, and colonial police officer Peter Gregory each find themselves pursuing mysteries that are unexpectedly connected.
At the heart of the story lies the search for the legendary lost sword of Napoleon Bonaparte, a priceless artefact coveted by those willing to kill for its symbolic power. Moving between colonial Zululand, contemporary South Africa and the Middle East, Tony Park combines meticulously researched history with fast-paced action, suspense and political intrigue. Die by the Sword delivers an engrossing blend of treasure hunt, historical mystery and modern thriller set against the dramatic landscapes of southern Africa.
This is an excellent choice for readers who enjoy action-packed historical thrillers, African adventure fiction and stories inspired by real historical events.
