Dead Before Dying Author:Deon Meyer Three men who have nothing in common are found murdered in Cape Town, and the string of vicious killings pushes the city toward panic. Captain Mat Joubert is left scrambling for answers in a case that might be his last chance to prove that his life?s slow spiral will not pull him under.
Meyer's thrillers are every bit as taught and complex as Les Child's with even better characterization. His books incorporate the tangled politics and history which are part of every character's life past and present. An awesome writer.
