Announcing "Operation: Genocide"


An inhuman agenda…

In 1982, Annette Pretorius lives a life of privilege afforded to those of European descent in South Africa, but when her husband is murdered, she discovers a shattering secret: he’d been commissioned by the whites-only South African government to develop a lethal virus aimed at controlling the growth of the black population--already oppressed under the cruel system of apartheid.

A clandestine organization…

The murder came with a warning to Annette from a secretive organization: keep our secrets or you too will die. Captain Trevor Watson, Annette’s former boyfriend, is appointed to lead the investigation. Watson’s loyalty is tested as the evidence stacks against his high school sweetheart.

And the killing isn’t over yet…

When the investigation points in a terrifying direction, Annette and Watson face a wrenching choice: protect those they love or sacrifice all to save innocents from racial extermination.  

Operation: Genocide by Yvonne Walus. Coming out soon from Stairway Press.

"Murder @ Play" is here!

My copies of "Murder @ Play" have finally made it to New Zealand and I'm delighted to see that the cover is actually made up of tiny white bricks (i.e., it's not white the way it looks online) - it just goes to show that, amazing as the Internet is, The Real Thing is sometimes better!

Incidentally, if you read "Murder @ Play", you will notice that while some characters communicate by email, and while the solution relies on the detective's understanding of electronic files, the Internet plays no part in the story and Google is a word not invented yet (the book being set in 1994). Oh, and only affluent businessmen carry cell phones - which weigh more than a brick!

If you think that weird, wait till my next book comes out. That one is set in 1982... no cell phones, no Internet and spoiled rich kids play Atari TV games!!!! :-)
