Description
Where loyalty falters, and every choice carries a cost.
The Goodman Curse plunges readers into the volatile life of Gregory Goodman, a Task Force officer haunted by scars both seen and unseen. Born into wealth but rejecting privilege, Greg carries the burden of a powerful family name while fighting crime on the brutal streets of South Africa. His latest mission—an undercover assignment entangled with arms dealers, corrupt officials, and hidden agendas—forces him to confront enemies both external and within his own ranks.
Haunted by trauma and driven by a stubborn sense of justice, Greg walks a razor’s edge between law and lawlessness. His allies can’t always be trusted, his enemies know no mercy, and his personal demons threaten to undo him at every turn. Yet beneath the violence and cynicism lies a man still searching for purpose, redemption, and the strength to rise above the Goodman curse.
Highlights include:
- A flawed, unflinching protagonist balancing family legacy and survival.
- High-stakes undercover operations filled with double-crosses and brutal confrontations.
- Dark humour and sharp dialogue that cut through the grit.
- A stark portrait of Johannesburg’s underworld, where morality is as fractured as the streets themselves.
Taut, relentless, and layered with moral ambiguity, The Goodman Curse is a thriller that refuses to let go, delivering both edge-of-your-seat suspense and a haunting exploration of what it means to carry a name you can’t escape.
