‘What makes this novel so outstanding is its setting and Meyer’s superlative talent for suspense . . . This is a vigorous, exciting novel that combines memorable characters and plot with edge-of-the-seat suspense.’

‘What makes Meyer such a national treasure – and as good as anyone in the world – is that even if you have no knowledge or interest in South Africa’s history or present, his books are compelling page-turners.’

‘It is difficult not to love Deon Meyer’s South African thrillers. This is another great vintage from the master . . . He manages to marry breath-taking action with a clever plot. The denouement on board a train is pure bravura.’

‘Deon Meyer’s South Africa is laid bare . . . it is as glittering and hard as the diamonds his country is famous for . . . Meyer utilises the crime fiction genre as an apparatus to create a multifaceted, unsparing picture of his country’

‘Compelling, action-packed and fraught with emotion. At its heart it is a powerful exploration of humanity at its best and worst and bears favourable comparison with landmarks of the genre such as Stephen King’s The Stand and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Simply stunning.’
