Terrific…The city’s vibrant, exciting, dangerous atmosphere is superbly portrayed
Other text

Johannesburg is fertile ground for a crime writer… Strong and vivid, City of Blood is the coming-of-age story of both Siphiwe and the slightly older Progress… There is plenty of action, but also, amid the chaos and carnage, a sense of redemption
