One of South Africa's most gripping psychological thrillers — Red Ink is the debut novel that announced Angela Makholwa as a bold, essential voice in local crime fiction.
When journalist Lucy Khambule receives a chilling phone call from an imprisoned serial killer, she agrees to write his story. What begins as a professional assignment quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Drawn deeper into a web of lies, violence, and psychological torment, Lucy finds the line between storyteller and prey growing razor-thin — and the darkest corners of human nature uncomfortably close to home.
Buzzing among crime fiction readers for its true-crime inspired tension, strong South African female lead, and the unsettling psychological cat-and-mouse at its core. Perfect for fans of The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides, The Girl Who Lived by Christopher Greyson, and Makholwa's own The Blessed Girl and Black Widow Society.
A rare find for collectors of South African crime fiction — bundle with other Makholwa titles for a standout local author set.
A paperback (2007, Pan Macmillan SA) in Very Good condition.
