Sangomas and cops don't mix. But this is Joburg, a city that never sleeps, a metropolis that is equal parts flash and shadow, and where not everything can be easily explained. Ian Jack, a disillusioned former police officer, teams up with Reshma Patel, a colleague from his old life, to investigate a routine housebreaking gone bad.

This is way more than the standard Johannesburg thriller the blurb may lead you to expect.
It’s one of those novels where the early stages have you reading with mounting unease, because you just know something very bad has happened, but you’re not sure what. Revelations and half-revelations keep up the suspense, evil is everywhere, and the hair-raisingly atmospheric climax is hugely dramatic and terrifying.
A bonus is that the book is packed with diverse, extremely powerful women – whose assistance the male protagonist Ian Jack definitely needs.
