Mixed Blood Summary

Mixed Blood by Roger Smith

Reluctant bank robber Jack Burn is on the run after a heist in the United States that left three million dollars missing and one cop dead. Hiding out in Cape Town, he is desperate to build a new life for his pregnant wife and young son. But on a tranquil evening in their new suburban neighborhood, they are the victims of a random gangland break-in. Benny Mongrel, an ex-con night watchman, knows who went into Burn's house, and what the American did to them. Burn's actions soon trap them both in a cat-and-mouse game with Rudi "Gatsby" Barnard, a corrupt Afrikaner cop. Once Gatsby smells those missing American millions, the men are drawn into a web of murder and vengeance that builds to an unforgettable conclusion.

Mixed Blood Reviews

With its shattering sense of place and satisfying plot twists, this book will grip you from page one -- Chelsea Cain, bestselling author of Heartsick
Startling, vivid, frightening. A first-rate debut by an up-and-coming talent -- Eric Van Lustbader, bestselling author of The Bourne Sanction
An unnerving thrill ride that kept me on edge from beginning to end. Mixed Blood is a top-notch debut thriller -- Phillip Margolin, NewYork Times bestselling author of Executive Privilege
A gripping thriller that follows believable (if sometimes grotesque) characters along a desperate rush to ruin. Highly recommended. * Library Journal *
Smith does an outstanding job of bringing Cape Town to life, taking us through the twists and turns of the local criminal world and the confusing labyrinth of racial identity in post-apartheid South Africa. * Kirkus Reviews *
