Summary
Struggling with gambling debts, security specialist Jack Burn agrees to help with a bank robbery. A cop is killed and now Jack and his family are fugitives living in Cape Town, South Africa. When local thugs attack his family, Jack instinctively reacts and kills them. Now he's trapped in a cat and mouse game between an ex-con security guard who saw what happened and a corrupt local cop who is looking for a way to retire rich.
Critique
Gritty and realistic language and situations give the reader a look at the `real` South African culture. Fast-paced and well-plotted. Not for the squeamish. Highly recommend.
