Review
'Smuggling, missing persons and an edgy post-apartheid South Africa interlace in a riveting crime novel . . . This is the author's most accomplished novel to date. Following the thrilling plot of his bestselling Thirteen Hours was always going to be a challenge but he's visibly gained confidence, showing his technical skill and handling the different sections of the new book with effortless ease. It's a mesmerising read, and a startling revelation at the very end suggests that we haven't heard the last of these engaging characters.' (The Sunday Times )
'How fulfilling the rewards are for those seeking crime fiction with real texture and intelligence . . . The author presents an unsparing picture of social divisions in post-apartheid South Africa . . . But perhaps his key achievement is the astutely drawn trio: the conflicted bodyguard, streetwise but falling for a major deception; the young woman fleeing a desperately unhappy marriage and discovering something that changes her perception of herself; and the ex-cop, finding that the incendiary reserves of violence in his personality are nearer to the surface than he thought. TRACKERS is a sprawling, invigorating and socially committed crime novel.' (Independent )
'An ambitious, multi-threaded tale . . . comprehensively pulling the reader into the melee of modern South Africa . . . this is a book that tells a cracking story and captures the criminal kaleidoscope of a nation.' (Times Literary Supplement )
'Meyer is the leading chronicler of South Africa, and his latest novel shows off his technical skill... a dazzling performance.' (Sunday Times Books of the Year 2011 )
'This year's great discovery: classy, edgy writing, subtly plotted and beautifully balanced between fast-paced action, pungent social comment and the process of investigation.' (Weekend Australian )
The Thriller Shot of the Year title goes to South African Deon Meyer for his superb tour-de-force TRACKERS which combines a spy plot worthy of Le Carre ("spy the beloved country") with several tense and violent criminal sub-plots and a complex and stunningly impressive narrative structure. All in all, a masterpiece of South African crime writing; which is rapidly proving to be the bench-mark of international crime fiction.' (Shots )
'This South African kind of crime is going global fast. TRACKERS shows why: three deftly-braided plot strands join political sophistication, strongly-drawn characters and a passionate concern with the Rainbow Nation's fate.' (i )
'An unusually intriguing story about modern South Africa.' (Literary Review )
'The book that stayed with me most from this year is Deon Meyer's TRACKERS . . . a dazzling performance.' (Joan Smith, Sunday Times books of the year 2011 )
'Critics were struggling to come up with new adjectives to praise the South African writer Deon Meyer's TRACKERS, a menacing tale of smuggling and disappearances on a sprawling canvas of post-apartheid South Africa.' (Independent Books of the Year )
'The author is proclaimed to be "South Africa's answer to Stieg Larsson" in a banner headline on the cover. I wouldn't disagree with that. He is certainly as powerful a writer, although his style is slightly different, and considerably more complex . . . this is one of the most absorbing crime stories you are ever likely to read.' (Shots )
'Meyer's ambition matches his execution in this brilliantly complex standalone thriller set in his native South Africa . . . Few readers will anticipate exactly how the separate plot strands will be resolved. This powerhouse read, which captures the many facets of modern South Africa, should be the American breakthrough book this talented author deserves.' (Publishers Weekly Starred Review )
'Award-winning crime fiction author Meyer demonstrates his superb gift for bringing together several disparate plots, striking characters, and vividly drawn scenes of contemporary South Africa, all roaring towards a climax with more than one surprise . . . With a fine eye for detail, an unflattering image of South African culture, and clear sympathy for the downtrodden, Meyer still never loses his focus on page-turning suspense and riveting mystery. Highly recommended.' (Library Journal Starred Review )
'Publishers and booksellers trumpet that "South Africa is the new Scandinavia" when it comes to crime writing and that Deon Meyer is "South Africa's Answer to Stieg Larsson". He's not; he's far better . . . With TRACKERS I would suggest he has moved into the John le Carré class, and not simply because one of the plot lines is about the workings of a South African security department and the political in-fighting involved, but mainly because this is a book which is a great thriller and a fine novel of characterisation. Indeed, the cast of characters is diverse (morally as well as ethnically) but every single one is fully-formed and three-dimensional and they all play their parts in a complex triple-stranded plot.' (Shots )
'Without doubt one of the brightest stars to emerge from the Southern African crime scene is Deon Meyer. A big, complex novel, it skilfully weaves together three separate storylines, and three different forms of crime-writing, into a cohesive and fascinating whole . . . The result is a very powerful thriller that sweeps the reader up in its gritty portrayal of modern South Africa . . . Meyer's mixture of compelling, believable characters, tense plotting and fascinating insights into the texture of everyday South Africa make TRACKERS one of the year's better crime novels.' (Canberra Times )
'Being hailed as the finest novel yet from an author whose reputation is growing around the world. Deon Meyer, is building a steady collection of awards for his books and an international fan base.' (Hobart Mercury )
'A powerful thriller. Meyer deftly builds tension by allowing the paths of his three disparate protagonists a bodyguard, a private eye and a woman escaping an abusive marriage to intersect. A rewarding read.' (Herald Sun (Australia) )
'A powerful thriller. Meyer deftly builds tension . . . A rewarding read.' (Daily Telegraph (Australia) )
'It's like three complex, gripping an absorbing books in one, so you're getting your money's worth' (Adelaide Advertiser )
'Deon Meyer writes a cracking good adventure.' (Manly Daily (Australia) )
'Meyer is a very good storyteller. A very good read.' (Sun Herald )
'One of the sharpest and most perceptive thriller writers around' (Peter Millar, The Times, on DEVIL'S PEAK )
'Far and away the best crime writer in South Africa' (Guardian on BLOOD SAFARI )
'This guy is really good. Deon Meyer hooked me with this one right from the start.' (Michael Connelly on HEART OF THE HUNTER )
'Stephen King is a writer who can be absolutely confident of the glowing reception he will receive for virtually everything he writes. King readers know that he is an absolute master of the ambitious, imaginative novel - and the proof of that shouts out from every page of 11.22.63.' (Good Book Guide )

(What's this?)
Deon Meyer just goes from strength to strength. His great, loose set of novels about modern South Africa are a perfect mix of thrills, entertainment, emotional grip, and socio-political analysis. In previous books, Meyer has used the transformation of the police force from a hierarchical, all-white body into a multi-cultural, politically correct organisation, to confront different perspectives and assumptions people make about modern South Africa (for example its widely reported high crime rate). In other novels, he's used a "PI" style device to similar effect, highlighting for example the ethics of gated communities and wild-animal/safari business. In Trackers, superbly translated from the Afrikaans as ever by Laura Seegers, Meyer combines these elements in a novel of several distinct sections. Each section concerns an apparently different story, linked by various interpretations of "tracking" from ancient to modern. We as readers know these stories are going to be related, but not how - and this is part of the constant tension of this marvellous novel. I won't reveal the plot here as I don't want to spoil anyone's enjoyment of the book and its various shocks of discovery, but part of the plot involves a government surveillance unit, with a moving story about a 40-something housewife desperate for liberation from her ghastly husband and son. Other parts re-introduce previous characters (Lemmer from Blood Safari and Matt Joubert from several previous novels, now retired from the police force and starting a new job in security) - but not having read earlier books does not detract from one's enjoyment of this one. In the end, the denouement is based on a slightly dated punchline - through no fault of the author, but a victim of the delays in the publication process. Even so, it packs a wallop, not necessarily in itself but in the outcome for some of the characters. Just enough details are tied up to provide a satisfactory finale, yet there are sufficient loose ends to make the reader extremely keen to read Deon Meyer's next book (though for sure it will not be a linear sequel to this one - this author is too clever for that).

(What's this?)
I thought that this was a very enjoyable, well written and engrossing thriller which ended up being two almost separate books which didn't quite mesh together in the end.
The plot revolves around a web of suspected terrorism, smuggling, gangs and organised crime. Dean Meyer is a very talented writer (excellently translated here) who can tell a terrific story full of fascinating and convincing insights into modern South Africa - a really strong feature of the book which never become dull or intrusive. His characters are well drawn and convincing and I found the whole book thoroughly gripping.
My reservations lie in the structure, which didn't quite work for me. The book is in four sections and the first three fit together excellently. However, we leave this story at a (slightly unconvincing) climax and jump forward a few months to a completely new group of characters and a seemingly unrelated missing person investigation. Although the connection to the previous narrative eventually becomes clear, I thought that the dénoument, such as it is, felt rather rushed and unresolved and I felt a little disappointed in the end of the book.
Despite this, Trackers is a gripping and intelligent read. Meyer seems to be setting us up for at least one sequel, and I will certainly look out for it. Recommended.

Trackers is the first novel by Deon Meyer that I've read, so I can't compare it to any previous works. What I can say is that, structually, it has to be the most original thriller I've read in a long time. Its as if Meyer is channelling Raymond Carver, the author of Short Cuts, with the book's three separate yet interconnected novellas (one of which is separated into two parts by one of the other stories) and multiple recurring characters.
Some may find this structure unsatisfactory or off-putting. Personally I found it refreshing, although I wouldn't want every book to be similarly fragmented. It effectively allows Meyer to create a collection of short stories, a tricky form that the author handles well, but simultaneously craft them into a something approaching a cohesive full length novel.
As with many short story collections some entries are more successful than others. Personally I found the stories featuring Lemmer and Joubert more satisfying than the divided tale set around the PIA, although others might disagree. I never really connected with the PIA story or the motivations of the characters involved. The terrorist threat being investigated remained too insubstantial and convoluted to really have much impact and the actions of Milla and her decision to go on the run didn't stike me as logical or plausible.
The Lemmer and Joubert stories worked far better for me, even if one remained frustratingly yet enticeingly open ended. It could be that it Meyers familiarity with the both characters, who have apparently appeared in previous novels such as Blood Safari and Dead Before Dying (Coronet books), that makes theses two stories flow better but being new to the author's work I can't be certain. All I do know is that I want to know how Lemmer's pursuit of Flea goes and I'll be adding Blood Safari and some of Joubert's previous adventures to my 'to-be-read' list.
So overall this was a pleasantly enjoyable introduction to Deon Meyer and gave me a flavour of the sorts of stories the author writes. It will be interesting to see whether I get similar enjoyment out of his full length novels when I tackle one.
