Car hijacking has become a culturally defining crime in contemporary South Africa; if it hasn’t happened to you, you probably know a close friend or relative who’s been involved. Now, for the first time, an award-winning SA investigative journalist has extensively interviewed carjackers and the cops who hunt them to piece together an account of the dismantling of a Gauteng syndicate. Following the trail of a young gangster who learns his trade in the Cape before he is caught and forced to infiltrate the far more organised, far more violent and influential world of Johannesburg’s criminal underbelly, the story blends fact and fiction, as well as our turbulent past and turbulent present. The result is a landmark book that is essential, riveting reading for the modern South African.
