I learned yesterday that there is a new crime novel by South African crime writer Deon Meyer that will be released this year. I say this year, but it will only be available in translation in 2024. Darnit. I know little about it, except whatever info we have form this promotional picture: its Afrikaans title is Leo, it will involve sober alcoholic police captain Benny Griessel, his partner Vaugh Cupido, both form the Hawks (cool name), and probably a plane. Oh and there will be trouble, but that was to be expected.

Something for you to look forward to!
thx. deon meyer is, im my opinion, the best author in his genre. do you know of any authors writing anything similar recently ?
Thanks for commenting on my blog! I don't know any other South African writers, but I love the novels of George Pelecanos.
You could try Mike Nicol. Very good!
I can recomend the criminal novels written by Henning Mankel. Tip: read them cronologic. The same World class like Meyer
