Anything is possible with the right mindset.
Dark thrillers, smart tech, and creative disruption — all in one place.
I'm Pieter Nel — aka ScallyRebel. I'm a South African author, tech explorer, and creative rebel with a passion for pushing boundaries. From supporting smart lock innovations in the access control industry to writing gritty crime thrillers and epic fantasy sagas, I live to create and disrupt. Whether I'm building no-code apps, designing branding, or writing stories filled with dragons, demons, or detectives, I'm here to prove that anything is possible with the right mindset — and a little help from AI.
A country torn by crime, power, and silence.
Two detectives who refuse to look away.
And a secret network that links it all.
Spanning 24 explosive books, Dark Justice is a gripping South African crime series that follows detectives Thandi Mokoena and Adam Barnard as they investigate the country’s darkest, most disturbing cases—each one a standalone, yet all connected by a hidden thread: The Circle.
From human trafficking and corporate corruption to political assassinations and cult-driven murders, every case brings them closer to the truth… and deeper into danger.
Set against the raw, complex backdrop of modern-day South Africa, the series blends fast-paced police procedurals with cultural nuance, dark humor, and a slowly unfolding conspiracy that spans provinces, power structures, and generations.
🔸 Each book is a case. All cases point to one truth.
🔸 24 books. 2 detectives. 1 fight for justice.
For fans of gritty realism, layered characters, and edge-of-your-seat crime fiction.
The trail gets darker. The Circle grows bolder. And the past starts to bite back.
Volume 2 of Dark Justice takes you across South Africa — from dusty border towns to urban shadows — as Thandi and Adam uncover new leads, twisted lies, and deeper ties to The Circle. Eight new cases. Eight more cracks in the illusion.
Volume 3 is aiming for a festive debut — think bullets and baubles by Christmas!
