TO AVENGE WHAT HE LOVES, HE BECOMES WHAT HE HATES Framed for murdering his family, South African journalist Robert Dell's only ally is his oldest enemy: his father, an ex-CIA hitman with one last shot at redemption. Hunting the real killer, father and son take a bloody road trip into the heart of darkness, uncovering a conspiracy reaching to the highest levels of the state.

Keith Rawson - editor of Crimefactory "A great thriller." Die Welt "Topping my list of favorite crime thrillers of all time. Absolutely breathtaking." Dave Zeltserman - The Caretaker of Lorne Field and Small Crimes "An amped-up, page turning noir, sure to leave the reader blistered and bruised with satisfaction." Frank Bill - Crimes in Southern Indiana "Shocking, unsparing and very satisfying." Mack Captures Crime "Noir at its most brutal and honest." A.N. Smith - Yellow Medicine
