When Charl and Skye crash into a closed van, they unwittingly crack open a child trafficking syndicate. A 'Bonnie and Clyde' couple are on the loose, causing death and destruction in their wake. The murder of a plain insular man has ripples of a secret past. New acquisitions and a topsy-turvy personal life have Chad and Braam tested to their limits. A new squad is born, with the help of an enlightened official, and just in time to deal with students on the rampage. The 'gappers', led by the legendary Chad Steyn, are once again on the road to achieve justice and truth. Will they achieve their goal and to what avail?

This is the seventh novel in the Chad Steyn crime series. It is somewhat shorter than previous books in the series, but it is equally as captivating and will therefore have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. The title, 'The Quick and the Dead', was carefully selected and perfectly portrays the action included in the plot.
