At a guest house in the beautiful Franschhoek wine valley, a famous English mathematician is kidnapped and his two bodyguards killed. It’s clearly a professional job, and the spent shell casings offer a chilling clue: each is engraved with the head of a spitting cobra.

Meanwhile, in Cape Town, a skilled young thief is using his talents to put his sister through college. One day he picks the wrong pocket, grabbing the wallet of a young American woman who was delivering valuable and dangerous information. Before the day is over, five more people have been killed by Cobra, the sister is kidnapped, and the thief is on the run.

Captain Benny Griessel and South Africa’s top police unit, the Hawks, attempt to identify the missing man, save the sister, and track down Cobra. But when intelligence services step in, ordering them to turn over the investigation, it becomes clear that powerful people are involved. The Hawks, however, aren’t about to let it go.

Building to a deadly, heart-pounding finale, Cobra is a masterful thriller from a writer at the top of his game.

I couldn't pause the book for shopping, cooking, or going to bed on time. The story grips you from the start and does not let go. There has been overwhelming praise for the author, so I won't go into that. What I want to make note of is the work of Simon Vance and the voices he created. I don't know if the accents were true to South Africa, but I knew immediately that I was nowhere near Kansas.

I became a fan some time ago, but the combination of Meyer’s writing and the dynamic acting of Simon Vance, makes this book my favorite. I especially liked the ending.

Meyer at his best!

Deon Meyer weaves such a vivid, involved and captivating story. The characters are so well established that you feel you know them. The story keeps you so eager for the next chapter that you find yourself avoiding obligations so you can keep listening. The narrator is truly amazing in his ability to change voices and accents. Can’t wait to listen to another Deon Meyer story.

So captivating!

Another great book by Deon Meyer. Fast paced, great characters. Realistic and plausible story line. So many of this type of novel end up being so far fetched that I lose interest. Meyer keeps you in the game until the end. Wonderfully and expertly crafted.

Realistic and fast moving
