Deon Meyer
A young woman makes a terrible confession to a priest. An honorable man takes his own revenge for an unspeakable tragedy. An aging inspector tries to get himself sober while taking on the most difficult case of his career. From this beginning, Deon Meyer weaves a story of astonishing complexity and suspense, as Inspector Benny Griessel faces off against a dangerous vigilante who has everything on his side, including public sympathy.
A gruesome abuse case has hit the newsstands, and one man has taken it upon himself to stand up for the children of Cape Town. When the accused is found stabbed through the heart by spear, it's only the beginning of a string of bloody murders - and of a dangerous dilemma for detective Griessel. The detective is always just one step behind as someone slays the city's killers.
But the paths of Griessel and the avenger collide when a young prostitute lures them both into a dangerous plan - and the two find themselves with a heart-stopping problem that no system of justice could ever make right.

NoBest book I've read since "Dragon Tatoo"

The story is from the perspectives of both a vigilante killer and the cop who is looking for him, so I kept thinking there would be a bad ending for one or both. That added a lot of tension to the story but I still enjoyed it very much and plan to read the series.
Complex and GOOD

I would prefer NOT to know who did it in advance ... I like to figure out the mystery. In this book, there is no mystery. It is a matter of watching the police detective figure it out and getting to know some very complex characters. I do recommend this book.

Would you listen to Devil's Peak again? Why?
I did.What about Simon Vance’s performance did you like?
Simon Vance was the reason I chose this book. Usually listen to him reading Trollope, but he is superb in any genre.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I couldn't turn it off, and finished the book in 2 days.Any additional comments?
Many mystery writers churn out plots that are formulaic and simply boring. Deon Meyer is a fresh voice in the mystery genre. If you have ever been to South Africa or followed its history over the past two centuries, you will quickly realize he has a wealth of material at his disposal to keep his stories interesting.Deon Meyer -- a fresh voice in detective stories!
