Wanting to be closer to her only remaining family, Kim Videl moved from London all the way to Johannesburg in South Africa. Despite growing up worlds apart, Portia and Kim are as close as sisters. This comes to an abrupt end when Kim awakens to find Portia dead. Despite it being written up as a suicide, Kim is determined to understand why her cousin would have killed herself, but everyone she pushes on the matter, dies. Her obsession for the truth leads her into the middle of a cultural revolution she cannot fathom. Steeped in mysticism and magic, something dark is responsible for a chain of deaths. With the help Theo Cupido (the lead detective on Portia’s death) and Mama Havenga (Portia’s former mentor), Kim is determined to find out what happened to her cousin. Little does she know that an ancient supernatural force is about to unleash a plague on South Africa. The Tokolosh is going to bring back a time that the world has long forgotten… Welcome to the Apocalypse.
“Tokolosh is an action-packed thriller deep-set in modern African culture. This novel introduces a pantheon of African mythology that the world has never seen before.”
