'The undisputed champion of South African crime. Meyer grabs you by the throat and never lets you go' Wilbur Smith

'From its startling opening to its tense and thrilling conclusion, Deon Meyer's The Last Hunt takes you on a whirlwind safari across two continents. In the whole of the Benny Griessel series so far, the stakes have never been higher or the odds so much against' Peter Robinson

A cold case for Captain Benny Griessel and Vaughn

Cupido of the Hawks elite police unit - not what they were looking for. And a

difficult case, too. The body of Johnson Johnson, ex-cop, has been found

beside a railway line. He appears to have jumped from South Africa's -

perhaps the world's - most luxurious train, and two suspicious characters

seen with him have disappeared into thin air. The regular police have already

failed to make progress and others are intent on muddying the waters.

Meanwhile in Bordeaux, Daniel Darret is settled in

a new life on a different continent. A quiet life. But his skills as an

international hit-man are required one more time, and Daniel is given no

choice in the matter. He must hunt again - his prey the corrupt president of

his homeland.

Three strands of the same story become entwined in

a ferocious race against time - for the Hawks to work out what lies behind

the death of Johnson, for Daniel to evade the relentless Russian agents

tracking him, for Benny Griessel to survive long enough to take another huge

step in his efforts to piece together again the life he nearly destroyed -

and finally ask Alexa Bernard to marry him.

The Last Hunt shows one of the great crime writers operating at

the peak of his powers.
