Politiemannen Mat Joubert en Bennie Griessel, die in Meyers latere werk vaker terug zullen keren, doen hier hun intrede. Een seriemoordenaar lijkt willekeurige slachtoffers uit te kiezen rondom Kaapstad, en tegelijkertijd worden banken beroofd door een flirtende overvaller. Hebben deze zaken met elkaar te maken, en kunnen de rouwende Mat, en de alcoholist Griesel, die al genoeg demonen in hun hoofd hebben, genoeg concentratie opbrengen om deze zaken op te lossen. Zoals al het werk van Deon Meyer goed geschreven, spannend, en zeker beter dan de gemiddelde crimi. Wel vond ik dit boek erg erg vrouwonvriendelijk; de vrouwen die in het boek voorkomen zijn vooral willoos materiaal om mee van bil te gaan. Daar begon ik mij op zeker moment wat aan te ergeren. This book took awhile to get going but I'm glad that I stuck with it. It's more than just a mystery. The book central character's personal and professional life is the central focus, the mystery is secondary. The African setting is interesting. It gave me a glimpse into a culture that I know very little about. I look forward to reading Deon Meyer's next book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

I loved how South African the book is, but the story was even better.
It features Mat Joubert from Murder and Robbery trying to get over the death of his wife while having to solve a (possible?) serial killer and a (possible? - going to leave you guessing) serial bank robber.
For me, this was unlike the typical CSI / Law and Order where you know within the first five minutes who the murderer is. But when the pieces started falling together, the story and the motive was revealed without having to read the last chapter.
Very well written. ( )
