Blindside

South Africa has a rich and varied criminal community. The Italians with their mafia connections, the Chinese triads, the Nigerians, the Russians, Koreans, Indians . . . not to mention all the homegrown felons. Still grieving following the death of her dad, her guiding light and an honest cop if ever there was one, Ellie McKenna accepts a mission to infiltrate Cape Town's dark criminal underbelly. She knows full well that in her line of work the brave often end up dead . . . blindsided by a faceless enemy. Wilna Adriaanse's Blindside is the first of her novels to be translated into English, soon to be followed by its sequel, Endgame.
