Jozi Gold (Paperback, 2nd ed)

With the city of Johannesburg, South Africa as its backdrop, Jozi Gold features a colourful cast of characters whose lives become intertwined during the run-up to the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

Craig and his wife Jeannie have two sons, and their marriage appears strong until Karen, Jeannie's astute sister, arrives on the scene from Australia. She senses Craig is harbouring a secret, and we soon learn he is having an affair with Valerie Smuts, a radio talk show host. Added to this equation is Valerie's colleague Paul Venter, a reluctant accomplice, who is also Craig's golf partner and patient.

Meanwhile, the high crime rate dominates the news, which fills Craig's receptionist, Francis Dunlop, with deep anxiety - as if her boss's deviousness wasn't enough.
