Ikarus – Deon Meyer

Sharp, layered, and authentically South African — Benny Griessel is one of crime fiction's most compelling detectives.

When a controversial lawyer is murdered, detective Benny Griessel is drawn into a case that exposes corruption, betrayal, and the dangerous world of digital start-ups. Meyer blends fast-paced suspense with trademark social commentary, delivering a thriller that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Popular for its Cape Town setting, tech-crime intrigue, and the hook: "Every empire has wings. Some burn." Perfect for fans of Deon Meyer's Thirteen Hours, Michael Stanley's Detective Kubu series, and Henning Mankell's Wallander novels.
