AWARD-WINNING CRIME FICTION WITH SOUTH AFRICAN SOUL
From the author of Thirteen Hours - A Sunday Times ´100 best crime novels and thrillers since 1945´ pick

The former freedom fighter known as ´Tiny´ has finally achieved his dream of a peaceful life. But then his beloved son is taken away from him. In that moment, he unleashes himself upon a corrupt South Africa. His victims are those guilty of crimes against children.

He goes by the name of Artemis.

Benny Griessel, a fading policeman on the brink of losing his job, family and self-respect, is assigned the case. Benny knows that this is his last chance - both his career and the safety of Cape Town are on the line.

But then Benny meets Christine, a young mother working as a prostitute, and something happens that is so terrifying that the world will never be the same again for Benny, for Christine, or for Tiny.
With Deon Meyer you can´t go wrong. He´s a writer whose work I admire, wait for and then devour. Michael Connelly
