MIXED BLOOD

Not for the faint of heart, this mystery brings together an American expatriate, an evil cop, and a hardened ex-con—all living in the underbelly of Cape Town, South Africa. Employing various accents of the region, John Lee infuses the story with tension as he performs an impeccable combination of extreme hostility, seedy vulgarity, and mounting chaos. When an American family escapes to Cape Town to avoid arrest for murder and bank robbery, things go from bad to worse when two men break into their home—catapulting them into the dark side of the city, a world of prostitutes, drug dealers, and killer cops. Lee keeps pace with the grisly plot, hooking the listener with his gripping narration. B.J.P. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2012]
