Selected by Marcel Berlins in The Times as one of the 50 best crime
novels of the last 50 years: 'Deon Meyer is acclaimed for his
portrayals of crime and the police after the end of apartheid.
Non-white detectives hold positions once monopolised by their white
bosses, and the tensions are high' 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?
