Wake Up Dead

Roger Smith

On a blowtorch-hot night in Cape Town ex-model Roxy Palmer and her gunrunner husband Joe are carjacked leaving Joe lying in a pool of blood. As the carjackers make their getaway Roxy makes a choice that changes her life forever.

Disco and Godwynn the ghetto gangbangers who sped away in Joe's convertible will stop at nothing to track her down. Billy Afrika a mixed-race ex-cop turned mercenary won't let her out of his sight because Joe owed him a chunk of money. And hunting them all is Piper a love-crazed psychopath determined to renew his vows with his jailhouse "wife" Disco.

As these desperate lives collide and old debts are settled in blood Roxy is caught in a wave of escalating violence in the beautiful and brutal African seaport.
