A troubled detective
A tormented serial murderer
Sundays in Pretoria are dangerous for selected women. A murderer plagued by his childhood, has found a distinctive modus operandi to salve his pathological need to escape the domination of the person who was supposed to cherish him.
As The Bathroom Strangler’s frenzy escalates and the body count mounts, Nico van Staaden, the lead detective on the case, finds himself confronting his own demons as he struggles to solve the murders of the seemingly unconnected victims. The lack of evidence in the sequence of deaths and pressure from his superiors are challenges he must overcome.
The resolution is bloody, savage and merciless. |
About the Author
Joan De La Haye was born in Pretoria on the 17th of January 1977 at 7pm.
The youngest of three children raised by parents in the Diplomatic service, Joan was educated abroad, finally completing her education in Vienna. She speaks three languages and is qualified in clinical hypnotherapy and also has a diploma in Fine Art and Creative Design.
If you were to ask how long Joan has been writing, the answer would depend on who you asked. If you were to ask either her mother or her grandmother, they would both say that she's been writing since she first learned to hold a pencil. Joan on the other hand would answer that she penned her first story at the age of twelve, while sitting in her mother’s office during a school holiday, to while away the time.
Joan has a profound interest in the occult and the paranormal which is evident in her writing.
You can find Joan on My Space, Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, and her blog.
