Thirteen Hours: Benny Griessel 02 - Deon Meyer by Unknown, Deon Meyer
In South African author Meyers impressive second thriller to feature Cape Town Det. Insp. Benny Griessel (after Devils Peak), which spans just 13 hours in a single day, Benny lands a pair of explosive cases: the gang slaying of an American tourist and the murder of the husband of a washed-up, alcoholic popular singer. After teenager Erin Russel turns up on the street with her throat cut, her traveling companion, Rachel Anderson, goes on the run. Rachel, who fears the police are connected to her friends slaying, is trying to stay ahead of her pursuers without the help of the authorities. A few hours later, Benny interviews Alexandra Barnard about the death of her husband, Adam, a record company owner. Alexandra was found next to Adams body and to the firearm used to kill him. While the windup doesnt match the pulse-pounding opening scenes, this crime novel does further enhance Meyers reputation as a deft storyteller.
