When a cold case dossier lands on Captain Benny Griessel's desk, he and his partner Vaughn Cupido, fellow member of the Hawks elite police unit in South Africa, reluctantly set to work reviewing the evidence of the disappearance - and possible murder - of ex-cop Johnson Johnson on the world's most luxurious train line.
Two fellow travelers might have the answers Griessel and Cupido need - but they too seem to have disappeared into thin air, and the few clues that exist suggest a cover-up. Meanwhile, Daniel Darret has settled into a new, quiet life in Bordeaux, far from his native South Africa and his revolutionary past. But when a man from that past reappears to commission his unique skills one more time, Daniel is forced to decide whether to remain anonymous or to strike a forceful blow against a corrupt government.
The two storylines eventually crash together in an ending as dramatic as it is unexpected, leaving Griessel and Cupido uncertain of their own future. With its rapid-fire plotting and beloved characters, The Last Hunt shows one of today's great crime writers operating at the peak of his powers and makes a brave and powerful statement about the pervasive corruption that has stolen so much from Meyer's native country.

From Havana to Nigeria to Tokyo, these suspense-packed listens will take you on a heart-pounding, journey from the first shocking twist to the final gasp.

This plot has roots in South African political events, so even a trip out to the news webs makes good reading. Not that we don't have our own corrupt politicians, but it's less painful to read about other nation's problems. As for backstory and characters, I firmly believe it's best to listen to these 12 books in chronological order rather than following any of the sublists suggested by Audible. (For instance, my man Thobela Mpayipheli has an important role in Dead Before Dying, but Audible's sub-list doesn't include it, and incorrectly shows Devil's Peak as unavailable.)
I must restrain myself from running on too long, but one last point: if you're a monolingual American like me, be sure you don't accidentally purchase any of the Afrikaans, German, or French versions unless you really mean to. I don't plan to learn any other languages at this stage of life.
Breathtaking
