Down Among the Dead Men

When former Detective Sergeant Emmanuel Cooper stumbles across the body
of a child, Jolly Marks, he can little imagine what the discovery will
lead him to. Cooper finds himself under suspicion for not only Jolly's
murder, but others as well. Assisted by his former boss, Van Nierkerk
and his beautiful, enigmatic mistress Lana, Cooper's investigations will
lead him into Durban's murky underworld of pimps, prostitutes, strange,
sinister preachers, and those on the wrong side of the race laws. Cooper
will find that there is more to Jolly's barbaric murder than he could
ever have realized...
