An excerpt from KILL MANDELA:DuBois paused, and smiled again. He drew on the cigarette. He exhaled. Then he spoke with relish, slowly and deliberately: 'Ma-mu-d. Mandela ... must ... die.'DuBois's words hung in Jan's brain for a split second until he made the connection. His scalp tingled. 'Mamud,' he said, nodding slowly. 'Ma-mud,' he repeated, rolling the word around in his mouth, like a fine wine.
