The shocking new thriller from the author of HEART OF THE HUNTER- does for South Africa what Henning Mankell does for Sweden

Devil's Peak

Jonathan Tysick

A well plotted page turner that made me miss South Africa and empathetic to issues that the "new" South Africa faces. However, it was a bit too graphic for me (in terms of language, violence and sexual content), so I'll probably stick with John Grishams in the future.

From the author of Thirteen Hours - A Sunday Times '100 best crime novels and thrillers since 1945' pick The former freedom fighter known as 'Tiny' has finally achieved his dream of a peaceful life. But then his beloved son is taken away from him. In that moment, he unleashes himself upon a corrupt South Africa. His victims are those guilty of crimes against children. He goes by the name of Artemis. Benny Griessel, a fading policeman on the brink of losing his job, family and self-respect, is assigned the case. Benny knows that this is his last chance - both his career and the safety of Cape Town are on the line. But then Benny meets Christine, a young mother working as a prostitute, and something happens that is so terrifying that the world will never be the same again for Benny, for Christine, or for Tiny.
