Book excerpt: Dive back into the gripping underworld of Johannesburg with this bonus material edition to the gripping exposé of South Africa's corrupt underbelly with an exclusive postscript and an engaging author interview. This edition is a follow-up to the bestselling, Killing Kebble and includes a postscript updating readers on events and people since the book's original publication in April 2011, as well as an extensive author interview exploring the author's background, the book's success and impact, and people's reactions to it. The book peeled back layers to expose a web of corruption that once gripped Johannesburg. In September 2005, eminent mining magnate and businessman Brett Kebble was killed on a quiet suburban street in Johannesburg. The investigation into his murder exposed the corrupt relationship between South Africa's Chief of Police and Interpol President Jackie Selebi and suave Mafioso Glenn Agliotti. It revealed a lawless underbelly in Johannesburg, dominated by drug lords, steroid-reliant bouncers, an international smuggling syndicate, a shady security unit moonlighting for the police, and sinister self-serving sleuths abusing state agencies.
