Bad city Peter Morris

A young man arrives in Johannesburg from a village in northern Mozambique and is conscripted into one of the city's oldest organised crime syndicates. Joao Mucavinho soon learns who really runs this bad city: who controls the money, the "kwash"" and the turn of the dice. "Bad City" is an African noir novel and an exhaustive anatomy of crime in one of the world's youngest and most dangerous cities.
