ABOUT
THE BOOK

Thobela “Tiny” Mpayipheli has a past littered with violence and death. An assassin’s past that he never wants to face again. All he desires is a quiet life with the woman he loves, and her child. But then his best friend is kidnapped, and suddenly he finds himself riding a stolen motorbike across the harsh plains of the South African Karoo.
His destination: Lusaka, thousands of miles away in Zambia.
His mission: To deliver a computer disc that contains – what?
He has exactly 72 hours to do it, or his friend will die.
From being the hunter, Tiny is now the hunted. There are those who will kill for the information on the disk. Every mile brings a new danger, a new threat to those he loves.
