Roger Smith – Mixed Blood
Mixed Blood is set in South Africa. This makes its setting the fourth country visited in my quest to read twelve books sent in different countries. So far I have read books set in Canada, Russia, and Australia and now Mixed Blood by Roger Smith set in South Africa. South Africa is by far my least favorite place to visit of the four! Mixed Blood (book 13 of the year) is a gritty book filled with murder, drugs, crooked cops, poverty and despair! The story opens with Jack Burn his wife Susan and son Matt on the run in South Africa after Jack becomes involved in a bank robbery which goes bad leaving a policeman dead. One night two black gangstas climb into their rented home. To save his family, Jack kills the two men and his life goes downhill from there.
