Karoo dust.
Too many ghosts.
And a silence that won’t stay buried.
In the quiet heart of the South African Karoo, the land remembers what people forget.
Blood in the Dust is a haunting, genre-defying audio drama about secrets, silence, and the cost of justice in a country still haunted by its past.
Told across three gripping acts (each with its own narrator, its own truth) this limited series pulls you into a world of murder, memory, and redemption.
Noir meets ghost story meets slow-burn Western.
And nothing is what it seems.
The story begins with Act 1: The Wolwefontein Murder.
Six episodes of suspicion, betrayal, and long-buried truths.
A farmer is found murdered under an old fig tree.
His wife survives; barely.
And Warrant Officer Gideon du Toit is called to the scene.
But in the dust and silence of the Karoo, nothing stays buried forever.
Not the weapon.
Not the motive.
And not the truth.
