Manchester Evening NewsĪ breathtaking pace, heart-pounding action set against a psychological backdrop, and a fascinating protagonist makes this book a winner. This is the second novel by South African Deon Meyer, a fresh voice and a compelling storyteller. The brutal terror of the hunt that develops is matched by the compulsive but increasingly ominous revelations of van Heerden's past transgression. Irish IndependentĭEAD AT DAYBREAK is a gripping read with a flawed but human protagonist who invites our compassion. Big IssueĪ highly entertaining, page-turning transposition of the American private eye genre to an exotic and vibrant setting. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
