Synopsis
When trust is betrayed, how far would you go?
Elle and Brent Mullen have it all: two delightful children, more than enough money and a perfectly-restored Victorian home in the plush green suburbs of Cape Town. But appearances can be deceiving. Brent’s business decisions continue to disappoint, embittered by mistrust and entitlement, Elle — a social worker by choice — is unhappy, trying (and failing) to bridge the divide between two worlds of privilege and poverty. Until she meets her next case Ethan who, at twelve-years-old, has seen it all. Born into a family of gangsters, life through his eyes reveals a pained struggle to defy his father’s expectations.
In a city run by gangsters, Elle, Ethan and Brent find themselves drawn into a web of betrayal, where a wicked plot twist reveals how far each will go to get what they want.

"This book gives an honest reflection of the multiplicity of lives lived by South Africans all living in the same country - South Africa! The challenges of classism, power, gender inequity, poverty, gangsterism and racism are just some of the themes that are woven through the book and highlighted within the context such a relatable story - so close to home - you cant put it down! It's a total binge read!" Dr Laura Fisher
