Stray Bullet

di Moagi Sharp (Autore)

Moagi Sharp, 2025

A chilling horror and mystery that will grip readers worldwide, set against the vibrant, ancient, and often terrifying landscapes of Southern Africa. It begins with an anomaly in Gaborone, Botswana. A bustling market stall owner collapses, a perfect, clean hole precisely where a bullet would have impacted, yet no projectile is found, no gunshot heard, no assailant seen. Detective Oagile, a man of logic and order, dismisses it as an impossible fluke, a freak aneurysm. But then it happens again. And again. Not just in Botswana, but across the fluid borders of Southern Africa – in a busy Johannesburg taxi, a remote village in Namibia, a crowded market in Lusaka. Each victim bears the same impossible wound: the impact of a bullet, without the bullet. A phantom shot. A stray bullet that leaves no trace but death. John, a seasoned foreign correspondent, initially arrives seeking a sensational story of a serial killer, but soon finds himself entangled in something far more sinister. He witnesses the inexplicable first-hand, his journalistic skepticism crumbling with each perfectly executed, utterly silent demise. As fear ripples through nations, Mercy , a brilliant but often-dismissed folklorist from Botswana, steps forward with a terrifying theory. She believes these aren't random acts of violence, but something far older, far more malevolent – a primordial entity, a forgotten spirit or curse, now awakened. It's an evil that embodies the untraceable, inescapable terror of a bullet you never hear coming, feeding on collective panic and the very fabric of human life. Meanwhile, Kamogelo, a young, tech-savvy prodigy and amateur forensic analyst, desperately tries to uncover a scientific explanation, sifting through reams of data, security footage, and medical reports. With every dead end, Mercy's increasingly unnerving explanations begin to hold more weight. As the body count rises and the phantom phenomenon spirals out of control, blurring the lines between modern warfare and ancient sorcery, Oagile, John, Mercy, and Kamogelo find themselves in a desperate race against an invisible enemy. From the vibrant cityscapes of Gaborone to the bone-dry expanses of the Kalahari, and deep into the heart of forgotten myths, they must confront not just the unknown, but the very nature of fear itself. Is it a demonic entity, a weapon of unimaginable power, or a terrifying new stage of human evolution? "Stray Bullet" is a heart-pounding journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche and the sprawling, mysterious landscapes of Africa. It's a story where the impossible becomes chillingly real, and the only thing more terrifying than the bullet you see coming, is the one you don't. Prepare to question everything you know about life, death, and the unseen forces that might truly govern our world.
