REVIEWS:
One of the sharpest and most perceptive thriller writers around.
The Times (London).
Deon Meyer deserves his international reputation.
Thomas Perry.
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 Africas new identity as a playground for terrorists. And he throws into the bargain a chilling assessment of the average citizens hopelessly myopic worldview. Meyer has few equals when it comes to combining biting social critique and riveting action scenes.
Joanne Wilkinson, Booklist.
Meyers 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.
South African mystery maven Meyer returns with a complex tale of intrigue and mayhem most satisfying. . . . Meyers carefully plotted narrative is multilayered and rich in detail, and its to his credit that he is able to pull these separate, seemingly unrelated threads into an a-ha conclusion. In the end, its about smuggling, killing, and other crimes, but also about the quotidian sins of racism, fear, aloofness, self-interest and mistreatment of othersin short, the ordinary human failings as well as their spectacular transgressions. A first-rate thriller.
Kirkus Reviews.
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.
Roland Person, Library Journal.
Splendid . . . Astutely drawn . . . Trackers is a sprawling, invigorating and socially committed crime novel.
Barry Forshaw, The Independent (UK).
[A] brilliant and intricately plotted thriller far beyond ordinary genre fiction. Trackers is an ambitious novel that opens a window into the people, the problems, and the landscapes of South Africa. Tense action scenes, unrelenting suspense, and a phenomenal cast of characters ranging from farmers and conservationists, to outlaws and intelligence agents, make it abundantly clear why Mr. Meyer has been crowned the King of South African crime.
Karen Dionne, New York Journal of Books.
Once again, Deon Meyer creates a vivid and sometimes frightening look at life in contemporary South Africa, which serves as the background for a real cant-put-it-downer of a thriller. In the course of his six previous novels, each of which has been more exciting than the previous one, he has continued to expand his plotting and characters. This is his most complex and intricate novel yet, filled with twists and ironies and a series of surprises in the conclusion that make it all work.
Mary Whipple, MaryWhippleReviews.com.
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 realizations of the seamier side of South African life.
