Debut thriller set in South Africa. Parts of this were very well done. I found the descriptions of the poverty and hopelessness of characters who lived in the poorer Cape Flats area of Cape Town completely convincing. On the other hand, the bad guy was too over the top for me and the main character was a bland American who I could not care less about. I did like the ending though and will check out his second book Wake Up Dead: A Thriller.
