New Crime Coming from South Africa

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.

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
