South African private investigator Jade de Jong finds herself in the sights of a would-be assassin when she uncovers a human trafficking ring.

Wealthy Pamela Jordaan hires PI Jade de Jong as a bodyguard after her husband disappears, and Jade thinks this will be an easy way to earn some cash. But when a determined shooter nearly kills them both, Jade realizes that she has been drawn into a wicked game.

At the same time, her relationship with police superintendent David Patel is on the rocks, and things only get more complicated when his son is kidnapped and his wife is blackmailed. It soon becomes clear that the kidnappings and the attack on Pamela are tied to a human trafficking ring that stretches from Johannesburg to London.

Praise for Stolen Lives

"This second Jade de Jong book is just as violent as the author's acclaimed debut. However, Mackenzie offers insight into postapartheid South Africa, an area of the world unfamiliar to most U.S. mystery buffs. For those readers who like Sara Paretsky and Lynda La Plante and fans of international crime fiction."--Library Journal (starred review)

"Under Mackenzie's deft hand, Jo'berg and Jade crackle with frenetic energy."--Publishers Weekly

"Jade's sophomore adventure (Random Violence, 2010) provides a crackling pace and nonstop action . . . Mackenzie's Johannesburg is as gritty and dangerous as noir L.A. or the drug meccas of South America."--Kirkus Reviews
