Mixed Blood by Roger Smith hits the shelves
My debut thriller, Mixed Blood (Henry Holt & Co), is available today in the US.
An American, hiding out in Cape Town, South Africa, after being blackmailed into a bank heist back home, is building a new life for his pregnant wife and young son, when an incident of random violence sets him on a collision course with street gangs and a rogue cop who loves killing almost as much as he loves Jesus Christ.
"A classic wrong-man-in-the-wrong-place thriller." Booklist
A gripping thriller that follows believable (if sometimes grotesque) characters along a desperate rush to ruin. Highly recommended." Library Journal
"Smith offers a gritty tale of corruption and vengeance set in South Africa in his absorbing debut. " Publishers Weekly
