Gavin Pienaar, a Civil Engineering Technician with a deep passion for writing and reading, hails from Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Gavin's journey has been profoundly influenced by the guiding hand of his great-grandmother. Growing up amidst the trials and tribulations of crime and violence within the South African Coloured community, he has drawn upon these experiences to shape the tragic tale that unfolds within the pages of his manuscript, Drifting, Dreaming, Dying. It is his great-grandmother who bestowed upon him the encouragement to explore the realms of literature and pour his emotions onto paper. Supported by his loving spouse, Ivy, and their daughters, Bridget (whose courageous battle against breast cancer ended in her untimely passing) and Rachel, Gavin took his first steps as an author in 2018. With dedication and perseverance, he devoted his weekends to penning his debut novel, Drifting, Dreaming, Dying.
Young Deplano, better known as Plano, stumbles upon a brutal scene that shakes his peaceful town of Estcourt to its core – the horrifying murder of Adelaide. In her final moments, she clings to his hand, her tragic demise forever changing his world. Estcourt's powerful men, Ewald, Eric, and Faizal - also known as the Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker - alongside their corrupt lawyer, Joe Combrink, plot to ignite a civil war in South Africa. Their plans are disrupted when their own men, essential to their scheme, are implicated in Adelaide's murder.
Plano, his siblings May June, William, and Adamor (Morph), and their strong-willed grandmother find themselves unwittingly entangled in a dangerous web of political intrigue that extends far beyond Adelaide's tragic end.
As their path towards recovery intersects with the devious intentions of Estcourt's elite in a dramatic confrontation in Valley Beautiful, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is drawn into this twisted case. As he delves into the town's darkest secrets, can he uncover the truth before it's too late to save a family caught in the crossfire? The fate of a nation hangs in the balance, teetering on the precipice of a conspiracy that threatens to consume all of South Africa.
