About this ebook
PI Fish Pescado is surfing. To Fish this is paradise. Except, he has no work, and a diminishing bank balance. Until a young surfer paddles up: 'Hey, Fish, there's a pretty chick looking for you.' The pretty chick is Vicki Kahn, poker addict by night, lawyer by day. She's bright, sharp, lovely. The best woman he's ever had. And she's got a job for him: find the murderous bastard who wiped out a bystander at an illegal drag race. Thing is the drag racer has connections high up. Really high up, right to the police commissioner. Thing is the commissioner has his eye on Vicki Kahn. Thing is the commissioner has a past, a nasty past. A past that has something to do with the bad old days and hit squads and the kind of information that no one in the new rainbow nation wants uncovered. The kind of information that involves lots of money - gold bullion in fact. And the commissioner has a taste for the lush life. A taste that is ruthless, savage. Before long Fish and Vicki can't tell who's a cop and who's a robber. Or who's gunning for them.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mike Nicol is always a joy to read and his latest noir thriller is his best yet, with thinly veiled references to past crimes and present criminals as well as new characters in the form of PI ‘Fish’ Pescada, a hunky bronzed surfer, and his gorgeous girlfriend Vicki Kahn. Nicol traces the activities of an apartheid death squad known as ‘The Icing Unit’ from the 1977 killing of a politician and his wife in Springs [Robert and Cora Smit, anyone?] to forced car accidents in the Eastern Cape, murder in an ANC safe house in Swaziland and the assassination of a female anti-apartheid activist in Paris.In addition to these ‘fictional’ slaughters, we have a former police commissioner with links to organized crime, prowling Cape Town in his Hummer and his fancy clothes. Surely a case of art imitating life?Rhino horns, revenge killers, Apartheid regime dirty tricks, endemic corruption, gangsters, illegal drag races and an engaging anti-hero combine with the surf off Muizenberg to create a delightful hard-boiled fantasy.
