Deon Meyer hooked me with this one right from the start. HEART OF THE HUNTER is a thriller with some weight attached, and that is a rare find. * Michael Connelly *\u003cbr\u003eA new book by Deon Meyer is a cause for celebration. HEART OF THE HUNTER is not just an exciting story of a pursuit; it paints a thought-provoking picture of today's South Africa. * \u003ci\u003eSunday Telegraph\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eA rip-roaring adventure, a portrait of spy-world duplicity and a look at South Africa's post-apartheid politics. * \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eOut of post-apartheid South Africa comes a thriller good enough to nip at the heels of le Carré . . . Wonderful setting; rich, colourful cast, headed by a valiant\/vulnerable protagonist who make empathy easy. * \u003ci\u003eKirkus Review \u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eSo authentic is Thobela Mpayipheli that South African thriller junkies, who have been waiting a long time for an enthralling read to come out of this country, will fall in love with the gentle Xhosa giant. * South African \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eHEART OF THE HUNTER is a brilliant book. Deon Meyer does an excellent job of developing a whole range of characters who are affected by the changes in South Africa in different ways. And Thobela, a giant of a man in search of redemption, is a wonderful hero. * Michael Ridpath *\u003cbr\u003eLike John le Carré's \u003ci\u003eThe Tailor of Panama\u003c\/i\u003e, this novel examines the rippling horrors too often caused by so-called intelligence agents working for foreign masters in backwater nations. With simmering racial tensions, a bounty of natural resources, and a government whose members worked both sides of the cold-war fence, South Africa should prove fertile ground for many fine spy thrillers to come. Don't be surprised if quite a few of them are written by Meyer. * \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eDespite the complexity of its tightly woven plot . . . [it] moves at a breathtaking pace that will carry readers away. A sympathetic protagonist and the landscape of South Africa add colour to the story. Highly recommended. * \u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eAn exciting and oddly hopeful look into what feels, smells and sounds very much like life in today's South Africa . . . dark, explosive . . . full of love for the vast beauty of the country but also riddled by the anger of South Africa's recent racial and political struggles. * \u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003eA terrific thriller of the first order and highly recommended. * \u003ci\u003eShots\u003c\/i\u003e magazine *","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48867077194071,"sku":"9781444730739","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781444730739.jpg?v=1722281564","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/heart-of-the-hunter-by-deon-meyer-20120306-9781444730739","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
