About the Book

Rhino smugglers, international espionage, and a missing person investigation collide in this "powerhouse read" from the acclaimed South African author (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Lemmer's first rule is "Don't get involved." A highly skilled bodyguard with a violent, criminal past, he has settled into a quiet life in Loxton, South Africa. But when a wealthy farmer asks him to help save a pair of rare black rhinos by smuggling them out of Zimbabwe, Lemmer can't say no. Now he's on a small airplane, zipping across the border with a military-grade shotgun at his feet--sensing that he's about to regret breaking his own rule. Weaving together Lemmer's story with a missing person investigation and the machinations of a top intelligence agency, Trackers is "a sprawling, invigorating and socially committed crime novel" (The Independent). "Deon Meyer is one of the unsung masters." --Michael Connelly, New York Times-bestselling author of the Harry Bosch novels "Meyer's ambition matches his execution in this brilliantly complex stand-alone thriller set in his native South Africa." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "[Meyer is] the king of South African crime fiction." --Booklist, starred review

Review :
Praise for "Trackers" One of "Kirkus Reviews" Best Thrillers of the Year "In his seventh novel, the king of South African crime fiction outdoes himself, packing in enough plot to power three separate novels. ... Aside from masterfully juggling intricate plot details and ripping off some bloodcurdling action scenes, Meyer lays bare more ruthlessly than ever before the chaos that lurks beneath South Africa's new identity ... Meyer has few equals when it comes to combining biting social critique and riveting action scenes. --"Booklist" (starred review) "Meyer's ambition matches his execution in this brilliantly complex standalone thriller set in his native South Africa. ... This powerhouse read, which captures the many facets of modern South Africa, should be the American breakthrough this talented author deserves." --"Publishers Weekly" (starred review) "Award-winning crime fiction author Meyer demonstrates his superb gift for bringing together several disparate plots, striking characters, and vividly drawn scenes of contemporary South Africa, all roaring toward a climax with more than one surprise. ... page-turning suspense and riveting mystery. Highly recommended." --"Library Journal" (starred review) "In his native South Africa ... Meyer is a bigger hitter than his namesake Twilight author, whom he jokes is his cousin. His books regularly slay the vampire romances in the charts, with their gritty realisations of the seamier side of South African life."--"The Bookseller" "The 'King of South African Crime' has spun another intricate tale of intrigue, adventure, and crime."--"Deadly Pleasures" "Meyer's punch lies in the authenticity and depth of his characters. And he has his finger on the pulse of modern South Africa. This is what makes "Trackers" a winner."--"Die Volksblad" (South Africa) "A cleverly constructed story - and a great adventure."--"Beeld" (South Africa) "This is a book you can only put down Praise for "Trackers" "In his seventh novel, the king of South African crime fiction outdoes himself, packing in enough plot to power three separate novels. ...

But Meyer does it with consummate ease. With this book, I truly believe, he has now risen head and shoulders above what has been done in the crime genre internationally."--Rapport (South Africa) Praise for "Thirteen Hours" "Deon Meyer is one of the unsung masters. "Thirteen Hours" proves he should be on everyone's reading list. This book is great!" --Michael Connelly ""Thirteen Hours" has breathtaking suspense, psychological understanding, and one of the most inspiring detective
