Out to Score, by Mike Nicol and Joanne Hichens (used)

Set against the backdrop of the abalone wars along the Cape coast, this is the story of two private investigators from a two-bit agency involved in seemingly different cases. Jeffrey Mendes, nicknamed Mullet after his hairstyle, is hired by the wife of a financial consultant who is allegedly soliciting rent boys. Vincent Saldana is contracted to track down a gang who are stealing from an abalone farm. But the two cases converge, and the mastermind behind each of them is a Triad operative named Jim Woo. The action moves from central Cape Town to the suburbs, from Dutch Bay east of the city to Sea Farm on the West Coast, as Mullet and Vincent tighten the net on Woo and his accomplices.
