In this captivating story about marriage, trust, betrayal and friendship, Glenda Stroll finds herself trapped in a web of lies, secrets and murder.

Freelance Editor Glenda and her wildlife photographer husband, Nick Stroll, relocate to an exotic tourist destination town on the fringes of the world's largest man-made lake, Kariba. Glenda falls in love with the African safari's breathtaking views and Nick is overwhelmed by this intriguing wildlife sanctuary.

Glenda's dream life is disturbed one day when she receives an unsolicited manuscript by snail mail from an unknown writer. Weeks later, when she reads the manuscript she is shocked to discover she is reading about her own life. Only, there is another woman and a love child in it. And murder.

Nick's mistress? Has Nick been cheating on her?

Suddenly, her marriage, her life seems to be all a lie. Nothing makes sense anymore.

Until the day she finds herself trapped in her car as it plunges into the crocodile-infested Lake Kariba.

Glenda's eyes open wide when she turns and realises there is someone else in the car's back seat.

Her four-year-old grandson, John, smiles at her and reaches for her, eager to be unstrapped from his booster seat and given a hug.

Glenda looks up and catches a glimpse of something moving outside, disturbing the pool of sunlight beaming through the windows. It is a large log-like object.

A cold shiver runs through Glenda's body. She freezes. Adrenaline floods her body.

A nine-foot-long crocodile is lurking out there, circling Glenda's sinking car.

A voice tells her she must find a way out or die.
