What is Shelter Rock about?
Shelter Rock is a pulse-pounding thriller. In a pursuit from Cape Town to Cairo, Agent Angel Rots’ target is always one step ahead and he begins to ask questions. Looking for answers, Angel discovers a secret that challenges his own loyalties and could change the course of history.
“Securocrat Lombard and his deputy Roux dealt in secrets daily, like market traders. Secrets were the product they bought and sold, hopefully at a profit. But there was one secret not for sale, a secret that only a dozen people or less knew in its entirety.”
SHELTER ROCK by MP MILES is a fast-paced espionage thriller based on true events featuring an African spy and a pulse-pounding pursuit from Cape to Cairo.
South Africa is under attack from all sides when Elanza, a politically connected heiress blinded by disease and looking for love before it is too late, meets a naïve English boy. Ralph, eighteen and innocent, has accidentally stumbled upon Elanza – and South Africa’s biggest secret.
When Ralph disappears into the depths of Africa to walk home overland, a Swazi spy, the only black African agent working for the apartheid era National Intelligence Service, comes into both of their lives. Angel Rots is uniquely qualified for his official mission to find Ralph, and a private mission to settle an old score, but in a pursuit from Cape Town to Cairo Ralph is always one step ahead, and Angel starts to ask questions. Why is this kid so important? What has he found? Looking for answers, Angel discovers a secret that challenges his own loyalties – and could change the course of history.
From illegal nightclubs in South Africa to poachers in Zimbabwe and the Batwa pygmies of Burundi, from arrest in Uganda and drugged hit men in Kenya to thieving Sudanese nuns and a final confrontation in the bazaars of Old Cairo, no one would make it home without an angel watching over them.
