DUST DEVILS by Roger Smith kept me on the edge of my seat from the first sentence.  This was a quick, highly entertaining read.  Set in present Cape Town in South Africa, it starts with a woman who makes a mistake, one her family pays the worst price for.Add in drug lords, a crooked cop, a man wrongly accused, a young Zulu girl betrothed to a monster, a native son of a chief who left behind his demons in search of more; and you have one heck of a roller coaster ride.There is violence, aids and women are treated like farm animals, but it isn't added to hide any sub-par writing.  Smith is a master, and he uses these scenes to show the reader, let them really see and feel, what a corrupt area of Cape Town would be like to live in.Smith does an amazing job at bringing you right into the mix of Devils.  Every character had my full attention.  I found myself wanting to, needing to find out what would happen next.  Be read for twists and turns.  If you start this book thinking you'll just read a few chapters before bed, be prepared to be groggy at work the next day.  I'm guessing you won't be able to put it down either!I'm definitely going to be reading Roger Smith from now on!
