Dead At Daybreak – Deon Meyer

Description

Dead at Daybreak by Deon Meyer is a gripping South African crime thriller that follows ex-cop Zatopek “Zed” van Heerden as he races against time to solve a baffling murder. When an antiques dealer is brutally executed—burned with a blowtorch and shot at close range—Zed is confronted with almost no evidence, just a scrap of paper and an unusual firearm.

With only seven days to uncover the truth, Zed must navigate a tangled web of secrets, deception, and hidden identities, discovering along the way that the victim’s existence was once unproven. Meyer’s signature tension and insight into human behaviour make this a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat read.

Perfect for fans of intense detective stories and fast-paced thrillers, Dead at Daybreak showcases Meyer at the top of his game.
