Catalyst Press and LAPA have just received new editions of his previous crime novels, Dark Video and Bitter Pill.

Thriller

A minibus taxi flipping spectacularly on its head; two teenagers engaged in illicit sex in a shopping-mall rest room; a raunchy table dance in a Cape Town strip club … What do these scenes have to do with a beautiful young woman running through Newlands Forest early on a Sunday morning?Alistair Morgan is the key. A gifted law student with a glittering career in the offing, Alistair seems to have it all: looks, charm and money – and the attention of the hottest girls on campus. But his privileged lifestyle is about to be turned upside down as he is lured deeper and deeper into the sinister online world of Dark Video, where reality blurs and morals unravel.From the ominous slopes of Table Mountain and the murky depths of False Bay to a dusty Karoo farm and the limestone cliffs of Arniston, Dark Video is an intense thriller that will keep you spellbound from the word go.
This is the book that had made Peter Church a name to remember. We are happy to publish a new edition, together with Bitter Pill and his brand-new novel, Crackerjack.
The book got rave reviews, like this one from Philipa on Goodreads: “Oh my word. This book was hectic! I don’t know if it was more hectic because it was set in Cape Town so most of the locations were very familiar to me or just because it simply is a hectic story. Sheesh, I was hooked.”
Bitter Pill
Peter Church
Thriller

Inside the heaving party hub that is Cape Town’s student playground, someone is preying on the young and unwary. As allegations of drink spiking and illicit sex hit the local papers, university authorities move quickly to limit the damage …
A world away in Seattle, Carlos De Palma, shadowy operator behind Dark Video, is plotting his survival strategy in the ever-changing internet landscape. With his precious clients clamouring for heightened thrills, Carlos begins tapping into a new service that blurs the boundaries between the real and virtual worlds …
Enter Robbie Cullen, nice guy and average student, dumped by his girlfriend and struggling with grades. But when it comes to the crunch, Robbie doesn’t know the meaning of stepping back. Once he encounters the beautiful and mysterious Fallon, his small-town bravado is set to make him some powerful enemies.
Bitter Pill is a gripping thriller that sweeps through the intoxicating haunts of Cape Town’s nightlife and lingers on the sugary sand of Plettenberg Bay – before exploding on the streets of the Mother City’s exclusive southern suburbs.
Bitter Pill was on the Long List for the Sunday Times Fiction Prize. It cemented Peter Church’s following in Australia.
In November 2011 Gillian Hurst from The Drum said Bitter Pill is “an adrenalin-laced, gritty plot (that) will keep you furiously turning pages long after your bedtime”.
