Blood Safari

'Blood Safari' in Top Ten

Deon's brand new thriller, Blood Safari, was nominated one of the ten best in the German newspaper Die Welt's list of best Krimi's for September.

The German title is Weißer Schatten. The English edition is coming in October in South Africa, and early 2009 in the UK, and the Mail & Guardian says "While the action scenes are plentiful and excellent, the plot is refined - a delicately prepared five-course meal."
