Present Darkness: A Novel (Emmanuel Cooper Mysteries)

Set in the corrupt, unforgiving world of apartheid South Africa, this novel in the Detective Emmanuel Cooper series follows Cooper as he faces a test of loyalty and friendship.

Five days before Christmas, Detective Sergeant Emmanuel Cooper sits at his desk at the Johannesburg major crimes squad, ready for his holiday in Mozambique. A call comes in: a respectable white couple has been assaulted and left for dead in their bedroom. The coupleâ€™s teenage daughter identifies the attacker as Aaron Shabalalaâ€” the youngest son of Zulu Detective Constable Samuel Shabalalaâ€”Cooperâ€™s best friend and a man to whom he owes his life.

The Detective Branch isnâ€™t interested in evidence that might contradict their star witnessâ€™s story, especially so close to the holidays. Determined to ensure justice for Aaron, Cooper, Shabalala, and their trusted friend Dr. Daniel Zweigman hunt for the truth. Their investigation uncovers a violent world of Sophiatown gangs, thieves, and corrupt government officials who will do anything to keep their dark world intact.
