Description
A schoolgirl called her pastor for help.
By morning, he was dead - and she was gone.
In 1980s apartheid South Africa, a schoolgirl goes missing the same night her pastor is found dead. Private detective Francois Stoltz is convinced the two events are linked. When the pastor’s sister, Millie, arrives from London, they uncover a powerful religious group operating behind the façade of faith and charity, with influence reaching into law enforcement, politics, and the criminal underworld.
As Francois becomes convinced the pastor was murdered, his investigation places him on a collision course with forces far greater than he imagined. What Francois doesn’t realise is Millie is driven by more than grief—she is a political activist sent to carry out a crucial mission. She moves quietly in the shadows, preparing to infiltrate the organisation from within.
Their paths converge as the scale of the conspiracy becomes clear: a thriving megachurch led by a charismatic leader, secretly operating under the control of a powerful criminal organisation with political influence and global ambitions—a system in which faith is exploited as a mechanism for control, and violence is used to protect it.
Set in a world where the explosive forces of change threaten to tear the country apart, Francois and Millie must both decide how far they are willing to go to uncover the truth.
Blood Money Faith is a dark, character-driven thriller that explores the intersection of organised religion and organised crime, and the cost of confronting institutions built to conceal their own corruption.
