Paul Robinson
Who Killed Mr Drum?
Can Themba works at 'Drum Magazine' where he is the epitome of the hard-working, fast living journo, worshipping only the written word and the female form - and constantly defying the restrictive absurdities of Apartheid. The only steadying influence in his life is his hero and mentor, Henry Nxumalo, aka the original investigative journalist, Mr Drum. But when Henry is found stabbed in a back alley, Can's life begins to unravel. Will his anger find expression in anything other than self-destruction? Can his white girlfriend Lizzie, the love of his life, do anything to save him?
