One city. Five people. A bloody trail of revenge. Read an excerpt from Beyers de Vos’s debut novel Talion
Ben hears the gunshot before he feels it. The car is still running, the rumble of the engine unnaturally loud. His foot is slipping off the clutch. His blood is spilling out behind him, wetting the seat. His whole body is trying to panic, trying to cry out, trying to flee. But he can’t move; his lungs are filling with blood.
