Trackers by Deon Meyer (Hodder & Stoughton Ltd)
Since Deon Meyer successfully conquered the international thriller market with Heart of the Hunter, he hasn’t compromised his style. His latest novel, Trackers, is his most ambitious and thrilling to date, weaving three stories together with a remarkable cast of characters which populate this riveting read.
He’s mastered the art of placing an intriguing plot amongst people we recognise and a landscape we can relate to.
There’s a sense of excitement reading about high-octane action going down on a street we drive every day, which Meyer ingeniously exploits.
Trackers has all the elements you could want : Intelligence agencies, violent retribution and the threat of international terrorism.
There’s Matt Joubert, a former policeman who is attempting to reinvent himself as a private eye, Milla Strachan, a housewife cast into a world of intrigue by default, and Lemmer- former bodyguard turned rogue who is caught up in a smuggling network.
There are dozens of lively characters who help to get this multi-pronged story spreading out on the page, but Meyer manages to rein them in and keep the narrative pumping with wry wit and descriptive power.
He’s as strong a writer as any writing in this genre, and, with the added value of the language, people and places you’ll all relate to, Trackers should be one book you’ll be racing through this season.
