Zodiac

Sam Wilson has written, developed and directed a number of television programs and documentaries. He lives in South Africa and Zodiac is his début novel.

In a society divided along Zodiac lines, status is cast at birth - and binding for life.
When seemingly random murders plague the city, is it a rebellion against the system or the work of a twisted serial killer? Zodiac is an imaginative and gripping thriller from debut author Sam Wilson.

Even for the most experienced detectives, every once in a while a murder can shake them to the core. Like when the Chief of Police is killed in his own home.

For Detective Jerome Burton, catching the killer will change his life forever.

Because this murder is only the first piece of a vast and twisted puzzle made of secrets, lies and tragedy.

The signs are everywhere. But is the truth written in the stars or hiding in the shadows?
Praise for Sam Wilson 'A bold storyteller with an amazing mind'
