GRIESSEL AND CUPIDO ARE EXPECTING A QUIET LIFE
Detectives Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido remain on duty in beautiful Stellenbosch, but run-of-the-mill police work in a leafy university town famed for its vineyards is a far cry from their previous life in Cape Town fighting crime at the highest level. For now, Benny has more pressing things to worry about - it's the countdown to his wedding day on 12 June.BUT THE PEACE IS ABOUT TO BE SHATTEREDWhen a student is found dead on a mountain trail, and the key suspect, a local businessman, is found murdered in what looks like a professional hit delivering a message - suffocated by fast-action filler foam sprayed down his throat - Griessel and Cupido both know this the work of professionals. Benny also knows he needs a cool head to untangle this web of deceit, and to manage the incessant pressure. He needs to stay calm, focused - and sober. And it all needs to be wrapped up by 12 June. THE CLOCK IS TICKING. AND CHAOS IS COMING...Praise for Deon Meyer:'One of the best crime writers on the planet' Mail on Sunday 'Storytelling at its best' Michael Connelly 'One of the giants of crime fiction' El Mundo 'Crime writing at its best' Tess Gerritsen'Up there with the best in the world' The TimesBuy now!
