The monster's daughter : a novel / Michelle Pretorius. by Pretorius, Michelle. Melville House, 2016. Call #: FICTION PRE Subjects Policewomen -- Fiction.   Young women -- Crimes against -- Fiction.   Apartheid -- South Africa -- Fiction.   South Africa -- Race relations -- Fiction.   South Africa -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781612195384 (hc.) 1612195385 (hc.) Description:  455 p. ; 24 cm. Summary:  "Somewhere on the South African veld, 1901: At the height of the Boer War, a doctor at a British concentration camp conducts a series of grim experiments on Boer prisoners. His work ends in chaos, but two children survive: a boy named Benjamin, and a girl named Tessa... One hundred years later, a disgraced young police constable is reassigned to the sleepy South African town of Unie, where she makes a terrifying discovery: the body of a woman, burned beyond recognition. The crime soon leads her into her country's violent past--a past that includes her father, a high-ranking police official under the apartheid regime, and the children left behind in that long ago concentration camp. Michelle Pretorius’s epic debut weaves present and past together into a hugely suspenseful, masterfully plotted thriller that calls to mind Lauren Beukes’s The Shining Girls and Tana French’s The Secret Place. With an explosive conclusion, it marks the emergence of a thrilling new writer."--From publisher. Genre:  Suspense fiction. Psychological thriller. First novel.
