New at LAPA in June

Jun 4, 2020

LAPA proudly brings you a gripping novel on farm attacks and for the younger ones we have three booklets on Covid-19, one in Xhosa, one in Zulu and one in Afrikaans. These are available in English as well, and we provide the links.

FICTION

The Farm

Max Annas

Crime Fiction

Imprint: Catalyst Press

9781946395221

R270,00

Somewhere in South Africa, another farm comes under heavy attack. No shooters in sight. Only one thing is certain: The attackers are savagely resolute and there is a fair number of them, armed to the teeth.

A diverse group of people barricade themselves inside the farmhouse: women, men, and children; bosses and workers; black and white; a police officer; random visitors, a courier guy that happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Who is the target of the attack? What has motivated it? Politics? Revenge? Greed? Weapons?

Who are these snipers, trying to operate in the dark of night? Who will die, who will survive? Who is pulling the strings? Who will be the winners, who will be the losers?

This tense, gripping thriller sketches a truly South African scene. It is dark and relevant. Innocent people die. The not-so-innocent too.

Max Annas now lives in his native Germany, but he spent many years in South Africa. This book shows his deep appreciation for the complex nature of farm attacks.

When a well-known photographer gets locked down with beautiful ex, the sparks ought to fly. She tries to convince herself that lockdown also means her heart is out of bounds, but time has a way of dealing with hearts. Thanks to Covid-19, time is all they have. Lots of it.
