Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit hält Benny Griessel in Atem Endlich werden die geschassten Ermittler Bennie Griessel und Vaughn Cupido wieder in den Rang des Captains zurückversetzt. Doch die Freude währt nicht lang, denn ein komplizierter Fall fordert die volle Aufmerksamkeit der beiden: Ein ehemaliger Polizeisergeant soll Suizid begangen haben. Schnell wird klar, dass es sich um Mord handelt. Hat der Fall etwas mit dem explodierten Wohnwagen zu tun, in dem ein Mann zu Tode kam? Griessel und Cupido läuft die Zeit davon: Das erste Treffen des neuen Sicherheitsforums aller BRICS-Staaten steht bevor. Es soll ausgerechnet hier in Stellenbosch stattfinden. Und die Hinweise verdichten sich, dass ein Anschlag bevorsteht.

Un meurtre froid au Waterfront du Cap. Cela pourrait être lié à des lettres mystérieuses reçues par les lieutenants suspendus Bennie Griessel et Vaughn Cupido. Mais d'abord, Bennie et son équipe doivent chercher un étudiant disparu à Stellenbosch et suivre la piste de l'agent immobilier qui a géré la transaction d'achat de Donkerdrif, le domaine viticole très cher du fraudeur corporatif Jasper Boonstra. Peu à peu, les enquêteurs réalisent que toutes leurs investigations ont un dénominateur commun : la cupidité.

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.

Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido, once elite detectives, now face a complex case in Stellenbosch after a student's death. Meanwhile, a wildlife guide gets entangled in a heist gone wrong. As they investigate a local murder, they uncover a web of corruption that threatens their lives and Benny's upcoming wedding.

The Woman in the Blue Cloak is a brilliant investigation which will thrill and entertain fans of Deon Meyer's much-loved detective Benny Griessel.

"With Deon Meyer you can't go wrong. He's a writer whose work I admire, wait for and then devour." — Michael Connelly Lemmer's First Law: Don't get involved. But when Emma le Roux looks at him with pleading eyes, when the roof of his Karoo house needs big repairs, when the cause is good and just, laws can be broken. So he sighs, and says, yes, he'll ride shotgun for two rare black rhinos. Bad decision. Because on a dark and dusty road in Limpopo, they stick a Smith & Wesson Model 500 against his head. They kick him and beat him, they lie, they deceive him, and they steal his Glock, the one with his fingerprints all over it. They should have killed him. And now he goes after them--the start of a trail of violence that will run the length and breadth of a country, and touch many lives. It will leave a trail of blood through the first private-investigation dossier of former cop Mat Joubert. It's a "fifty-five," police slang for a missing persons case. It will stomp fear and horror through the life of Milla Strachan, who walked out on her rich, cheating husband and abusive teenage son to start a new life. A trail of death, stretching from the Chizarira to the Cape Waterfront. And at the end of it, nobody will be untouched.

"Einer der besten Krimiautoren weltweit." Antje Deistler, WDR Superintendent John October hat vor elf Jahren einen tödlichen Fehler begangen. Seitdem sitzt er abgeschoben im Archiv. Bis ein junges Mädchen auftaucht und behauptet, zu wissen, wer ein Ehepaar vor vielen Zeugen umgebracht hat, ohne selbst gesehen zu werden. Wie in seinen Romanen gelingt es Deon Meyer auch in seinen packenden Storys, einen tiefen Blick in das moderne Südafrika zu werfen. In sechs Geschichten führt Deon Meyer in seinen Kosmos ein. Dem Bodyguard Lemmer begegnet der Leser hier genauso wie dem alkoholkranken Polizisten Griessel. In "Auszeit", schon beinahe einem Kurzroman, zeigt Deon Meyer, dass er nicht nur ein überragender Chronist der südafrikanischen Gesellschaft ist, sondern dass er auch mit Raum und Zeit zu spielen versteht.

When the rich and famous visit South Africa, their first port of call is often Body Armor, the personal security company offering two types of protection: the big and intimidating muscle men called Gorillas or the lean and hungry former government body guards, referred to as Invisibles. Lemmer is a freelance Invisible. The tiny and beautiful Emma le Roux, a brand consultant from Cape Town, wants to hire him. He needs the money, so he listens to her story. Lemmer’s First General Law is: Don’t get involved. But he has never failed as a body guard and he’s also grown a little too fond of Emma. He uncovers simmering racial and political tensions, greed, corruption, and a network of eco-terrorists. He follows the leads until he finds what he’s after: The people who attacked Emma. Getting to them will be extremely dangerous, and exposing them could have international political implications. If he fails, both he and Emma will end up dead. But Lemmer is sick and tired of being invisible. He goes after them, against all odds.

A brilliantly suspenseful novel, and a searing portrait of modern South Africa, in which sometimes only hope and humanity can fight the cruellest crimes.
