I love using this blog to highlight the achievements and works of South Africans, because it hopefully serves as a motivation to other South Africans.
One South African author who I have not featured on this blog before is Wessel Ebersohn who has recently released a new book called "October Killings".
Interesting piece of meaningless trivia is that I actually worked for three months on contract with Wessel at Succeed magazine in Johannesburg and found he ran a really good business with happy and motivated staff!
Please find below the write-up for the book and if you have read the book please post your comments for other readers.
You can buy this book now online from retailer Loot for R160.
Write up:
Abigail Bukulu, a young star in the Justice Department, receives a visit from Leon Lourens. Many years ago when she was only 15 he saved her life when he was one of a group of South African soldiers sent to attack an ANC safe house in Lesotho. Having paid the price for his rebellion, Leon now needs Abigail's protection. On 22 October each year, the date of the Lesotho attack, another member of the SADF squad is killed. Now, that date is approaching, and only two of them remain: the squad commander, who's serving his sentence in C-Max, and Leon. Abigail immediately knows who is behind the October Killings: a sinister and dangerous man named Bishop who had joined the Struggle for dubious reasons. In a rush against time, over a course with many obstacles, Abigail finds a partner in the eccentric prison psychologist Yudel Gordon, a "veteran" from three earlier Ebersohn novels. And so a fiery partnership is established that is likely to electrify several future books.
