As Kendall is drawn in deeper he finds himself in a situation he can't escape and its up to his brother Justin to protect him. The Mullins brothers flee the suburbs as they attempt to outrun the law and the wrath of their father, but the streets of Cape Town are rough, and they have to come up with a new plan to survive.

The Goblet Club
An intriguing odyssey into a mind of machiavellian delinquency
- John van de Ruit, author of Spud
Set on the stark South African Platteland, The Goblet Club is a Gothic tale about friendship, trust and betrayal. The story follows the character of Mark through his journey from boyhood to independence, and chronicles the year he spent in St Matthew's College for Boys, run by the evil headmaster Crabtree. Mark meets three boys, Trent, Francis and Vlad who call themselves the Goblet Club – an elite club dedicated to the study of poisons. They use their skills to rid the school of rats but as Mark learns St Matthew’s secrets their thoughts soon turn to murder…
The Goblet Club is the recipient of two South African literary awards. It won first place in the English category for the You/Huisgenoot I am a writer Competition and in 2008 won the M.E.R Prize for Best Youth Novel at the Via Afrika Literary Awards in Cape Town.
