Zulu was recently named one of the "
Ten Best African Crime Novels" by Michael Stanley for the Guardian newspaper. Advance reviews raved: "A horrifying, eye-opening thriller [that] masterfully depicts the abject poverty of Cape Town's slums and the desperation of the townships' residents" (Kirkus) and described the novel as "hard-hitting...a welcome addition to the growing ranks of crime books set in South Africa" (Publishers Weekly).
