Product Description

Review

Praise for Deon Meyer:
“Meyer’s extraordinary talents as a writer come from two points: he is masterful on plot … and he draws each character, whether pivotal or almost incidental, with the true craft of a powerful novelist. . . . Blood Safari will take you to unexpected places, make you ponder interesting questions and stand in awe at the cruelty that human beings inflict upon each other. . . . A read that should not be missed under any circumstances.” –Cape Times (South Africa)

“Un-put-downable.” –Cape Argus (South Africa)

“This translation of the novel Onsigbaar is tense, intelligent and convincing. The main character, Lemmer, is a charismatic freelance bodyguard and his chequered past puts a thrilling spin on the fast-paced drama. . . . [Meyer] knows how to tell a gripping story and his thorough research and lelievable characters make for a local crime thriller with a difference.” –YOU (South Africa)

“Deon’s books have been translated into English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Russian, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Slovakian and Bulgarian. Whew!” –Cape Times (South Africa)

“Our best thriller writer. . . . We can all relate to Meyer’s characters. Outstanding.” –The Star (South Africa)

“Meyer’s secondary actors can be gems of charaterisation, sometimes stimulating the reader to give a delighted snort of recognition. . . . Meyer intrigues while he thrills. Him confident, sure touch just gets better. Highly recommended: If this is your first Meyer, you’ll find yourself rushing out to buy the earlier ones.” The Star (South Africa)

“Meyer is simply excellent. . . . Lemmer is too good a character to be a one-novel phenomenon.” –The Weekender (South Africa)

“A competently executed thriller. . . . Meyer cleverly brings in a major unsolved South African mystery and the problems of poaching and there are plenty of twists in the plotting to keep the reader hooked. . . . It all adds up to a pacy, well-plotted thriller.” –The Witness (South Africa)

“One of the sharpest and most perceptive thriller writers around.” — The Times (London)

“Tough in-your-face crime writing that spares nothing in language, visceral sense of blood and mayhem . . . and never waivers from the compelling pace of the story. It also has a mean line in humour that comes through in the snappy dialogue.” — The Sunday Independent

“Out of post-apartheid South Africa comes a thriller good enough to nip at the heels of le Carré . . . Wonderful setting; rich and colourful cast.” — Starred Review, Kirkus
