  In this fabulous follow-up to the internationally acclaimed The Lazarus Effect, newspaper reporter Vee Johnson returns as Cape Town's most feisty female investigator.
  Vee and her ever-faithful sidekick, Chlöe Bishop, have been banished from City Chronicle's newsroom to review a tourist lodge in sleepy Oudtshoorn. But Vee and Chlöe are barely checked in to their rooms when the first body is discovered… hanging from a tree, with Vee's purple silk scarf used as a noose. But is it suicide or strangulation?
  As Vee investigates the death, she is pulled into a bewildering world of conferences and corruption, dog-walking and drug addiction, break-ins and black economic empowerment. And all this whilst juggling the two men in her love life.
  A combination of sex, intrigue and subterfuge, The Score is set against the fading colours of South Africa's Rainbow dream.
