THE BUTCHER'S BILL
Dark Justice: A South African Crime Series — Book 3 of 24

When a severed hand washes up in a bucket outside a Pretoria tavern, detectives Thandi Mokoena and Adam Barnard are pulled into one of their most brutal cases yet. No ID, no fingerprints — just a crude warning carved into the flesh.

As more butchered remains appear across the city, the clues lead to an underground clinic with a spotless front and blood-soaked back rooms. But what seems like a sadistic killer's work soon reveals a darker operation — one where human life is reduced to parts, and profit always outweighs the law.

Thandi is still healing from the last case, but the deeper she digs, the more she realizes this isn't just about organ trafficking. It's about power — and those who think they're untouchable. When the Circle's mark reappears, older and more permanent than ever, it becomes clear that this network didn't start yesterday. It's been rooted for decades.

As the body count rises, Adam and Thandi face enemies on both sides of the law — and a ticking clock that may already be too late.

The Butcher's Bill is a raw, relentless chapter in Dark Justice: A South African Crime Series — where corruption cuts deep, and silence has a body count.

Every system has a price. This one is paid in blood.
