Summary
An American fugitive hides out in Cape Townāone of the worldās most beautiful and violent citiesāin this riveting debut thriller that asks: Can you ever outrun your past?
Reluctant bank robber Jack Burn is on the run after a heist in the United States that left $3 million missing and one cop dead. Hiding out in Cape Town, South Africa, he is desperate to build a new life for his pregnant wife and young son. But on a tranquil evening in their new suburban neighborhood they are the victims of a random gangland assault that changes everything.
Benny Mongrel, an ex-con night watchman guarding a building site next to Burnās home, is another man desperate to escape his past. After years in the ghetto gangs of Cape Town he knows who went into Burnās house. And what the American did to them. He also knows his only chance to save his own brown skin is to forget what he saw.
Burnās actions on that night trap them both in a cat-and-mouse game with Rudi "Gatsby" Barnardāa corrupt Afrikaner cop who loves killing almost as much as he loves Jesus Christāand Disaster Zondi, a fastidious Zulu detective who wishes to settle an old score. Once Gatsby smells those missing American millions, the four men are drawn into a web of murder and vengeance that builds to an unforgettable conclusion.
