DIVINE JUSTICE - JOANNE HICHENS

A Rae Valentine Mystery

A New novel by Joanne Hichens
In the aftermath of a vicious attack and near rape, addiction counsellor Rae Valentine – feisty, sexy, flesh and blood gorgeous and vital – begins to rebuild her life, emerging as a resourceful woman in charge of her destiny. Not only does she give motivational talks, is commissioned to write a memoir and has more facebook fans than she can handle, but as a newly badged investigator Rae keeps the floundering Mendes, Saldana & Valentine Private Investigation business in rent money while the men in her life sort out their troubles. In Divine Justice, Rae catches a break from the small-time clientele who have her hopping after cheaters and fraudsters, to hunt the stolen jewellery of new client. Little does she realise she will soon be caught up in a web of lies and deceit as the shenanigans of a deranged Evangelist and his followers keep her on her toes…so to speak…

Fiat Iustitia Ruat Caelium!
Translation anyone? From the Latin:
Let Justice be done, though the heavens fall!

Divine Justice is both an intriguing mystery and a brilliant character study, presenting vivid snapshots of desperate people straddling the fault lines in contemporary South African society. A gripping narrative that rushes to a thrilling climax. Roger Smith, author of Dust Devils

With vivid imagery, punchy dialogue and black humour, Divine Justice depicts the sinister side of Cape Town and its surrounds. The characters, intriguingly complex and flawed, inhabit a treacherous city that pulses with dark energy and the ever-present threat of violence. This fast-paced read establishes Joanne Hichens as a compelling voice in the crime fiction world. Jassy Mackenzie, author of Worst Case.

An unadulterated pleasure. Joe Muller
