A Sunday Times '100 best crime novels and thrillers since 1945' pick!

Shortlisted for the CWA International Dagger Award 2010

They killed her best friend. Now they are chasing Rachel Anderson through the streets of Cape Town. The young tourist doesn't dare trust anyone - except her father, back home in America. When he puts pressure on the politicians, they know that to protect their country's image, they must find Rachel's hiding place before the killers.

So Benny Griessel - detective, maverick and father of teenagers himself - has just 13 hours to crack open a conspiracy which threatens the whole country.

Industry Reviews

This terrific, action-packed thriller has superbly drawn characters and an enthralling setting. Deon Meyer is one of the best crime writers on the planet. - Mail on Sunday

Deon Meyer is the undisputed king of South African crime fiction, and THIRTEEN HOURS demonstrates why. - The Times

South African thrillers arrive with racial baggage, and it's a mark of Meyer's talent to see just how well the issues are balanced with a smashing story. Imposing a strict time limit and a tight location on his plot, he ramps up the suspense to an unbearable degree. Best of all, his sharply drawn characters really feel part of the new South Africa, where loyalties and beliefs must always be questioned. - Financial Times

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. - The Sunday Times

Far and away South Africa's best crime writer - The Times

gripping and suspenseful crime novel set in a violent, post-apartheid South Africa - Culture Magazine (The Sunday Times)

A cracking read from one of Africa's finest - Shots ezine

One of the sharpest and most perceptive thriller writers around - Peter Millar, The Times, on DEVIL'S PEAK
