Heart of the Hunter: A Lemmer Novel - Softcover

""Heart of the Hunter" is the dark, explosive side of Alexander McCall Smith's Botswana books, as 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." --Dick Adler, "Chicago Tribune"

"This guy is really good. 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

"A thriller good enough to nip at the heels of Le Carre ... Wonderful setting, rich, colorful cast, headed by a valiant/vulnerable protagonist . . . Fans of the genre won't want to miss ["Heart of the Hunter"]." --"Kirkus Reviews" (starred review)

"A rip-roaring adventure, a portrait of spy-world duplicity and a look at South Africa's post-apartheid politics. But this thriller is also an ambitious attempt to create a mythic hero." --Patrick Anderson, "The Washington Post"

Asked to deliver a ransom demand to a friend's kidnappers, former government agent Thobela Mpayipheli becomes increasingly suspicious when the ransom, a computer disk, is targeted by the government, the police, and more sinister factions in his South African home. Reissue.
