With the help of her oddball assistant Chloe Bishop, she's soon delving into the secrets of the fractured Fourie and Paulsen families. What happened to Jacqui Paulsen, who left home two years ago and hasn't been seen since?The Lazarus Effect is a gripping new addition to the African crime genre from a talented debut author.
