đ#16 Blood Safari (Deon Meyer)
I en af alle vores bogkasser gemte sig Blood Safari af den sydafrikanske forfatter Deon Meyer; bogen har jeg fĂĽet af min onkel og faster (som bor i Sydafrika), og det var sjovt at lĂŚse en krimi, der finder sted et andet sted end de “sĂŚdvanlige”. Og det bedste er, at nu er bogen lĂŚst og kan gives videre. Jeg har nemlig en ambition om at skille mig af med 1.095 ting i ĂĽr, tre ting i snit per dag (og heldigvis tĂŚller hvert kort/hver mĂŚrkat, jeg laver og enten sĂŚlger eller giver vĂŚk, som ĂŠn ting, ellers gik det vist aldrig godt đą) – sĂĽ hver en ting tĂŚller!
Om bogen fra amazon.com:
âDeon Meyerâs novels explore the complex reality of South Africa . . . they are exciting stories of crime, conflict, and revenge.â âThe Miami Herald
Blood Safari is a harrowing novel from internationally acclaimed thriller writer Deon Meyer, an expert storyteller whose wickedly fast narratives reveal the heart of his enthralling country.
In Blood Safari, Emma le Roux, a beautiful young woman in Cape Town, sees her brother named on the television news as the prime suspect in the killing of four poachers and a witch doctor. But it canât be possible: Emmaâs brother is supposed to be dead, having disappeared twenty years ago in Kruger National Park. Emma tries to find out more but is attacked and barely escapes. So she hires Lemmer, a personal security expert, and sets out into the country in search of the truth.
A complicated man with a dishonorable past, Lemmer just wants to do his job and avoid getting personally involved. But as he and Emma search for answers from the rural police, they encounter racial and political tensions, greed, corruption, and violence unlike anything they have ever known.
âWith Deon Myer you canât go wrong. Heâs a writer whose work I admire, wait for, and then devour.â âMichael Connelly
