Overview
Dawson and Lucy hit Cape Town… and Cape Town hits back When their new employer dies in a suspicious road accident and his brother, a South African government lawyer disappears in Cape Town, Dawson and Lucy are recalled to MI6. For once their mission is straightforward: liaise with Rebecca Erasmus of South African State Security and find the missing lawyer. Then Rebecca is kidnapped. Surely this has nothing to do with the forthcoming presidential election and the vengeful Chinese assassin in town… Why are Dawson and Lucy held up at gunpoint on Table Mountain? Why is a South African presidential candidate hiding in a vineyard? How are the CIA and Chinese involved? Can you fly a helicopter without scooping some goats up for the ride? And what part does dreadful cooking have to play in proceedings?

Reviews
"Praise for the Lucy and Dawson Series: ""A curiously magical thriller with suburban subterfuge and sparkle."" -- Helen Lederer, comedy author, actress and founder of the Comedy Women in Print Prize Praise for the Lucy and Dawson Series ""This is a thriller, a chase, a buddy story, a mystery [...] all smoothly told with hugely engaging characters, and rips along at a hectic pace."" -- Adrian Magson, author of Hostile State Praise for the Lucy and Dawson Series ""My goodness! What a hilarious, energetic and entertaining roller-coaster of a read this is. The pace never lets up."" -- Sue Clark, author of Note to Boy"
Author Information
Steve Sheppard grew up in a house with a river at the bottom of the garden. This makes him sound quite posh but it wasn’t a very big house and it wasn’t a very big river. Nine years at boarding school taught him absolutely nothing about how to be an adult. One thing he did eventually learn was that he should have tried writing a book much earlier than he did, although he also now realises that he ought to have become a celebrity first as this would have made selling it much easier. In between day job and writing, Steve has also tried his hand at composing the occasional short story which can be found on his website. 'Geronimo' achieved 2nd place in the 2019 To Hull and Back humorous short story competition. No pressure for the next competition then.
