Product Information
After 602 days dry, Captain Benny Griessel of the South African police services can't take any more tragedy. So when Benny is called in to investigate a multiple homicide, it pushes him close to breaking point - a former friend and detective colleague has shot his wife and two daughters, then killed himself. Benny wants out - out of his job, his home and his relationship with his singer girlfriend, Alexa. He moves into a hotel and starts drinking. Again. But Benny's unique talent is urgently required to help investigate another crime - the high profile murder of Ernst Richter, MD of a new tech startup, Alibi, whose body is discovered buried in the sand dunes north of Cape Town. Alibi is a service that creates false appointments, documents and phone calls to enable people to cheat on their partners. It has made Richter one of the most notorious people in South Africa. Can Benny pull together the strands of his life in time to catch the killer?Product Identifiers

Maybe his best
As part of the Griessel series, and with other known characters, it is logical to save this one till last - but not necessary. It would stand alone. Icarus is less mass-slaughter than some of Meyer's others and the plot is less extreme. And I'm sure it is the better for it. It has the usual background of the changed South Africa which I find most interesting, and the translation (from Africaans) is as impressive as in every other book. I won't spoil what happens to Griessel in this one, but I will say that it is done well and credibly.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
