The world of Mat Joubert

"Meyer creates an enjoyable character-driven crime story that gently tweaks some of the genre's stereotypes. An appealing protagonist, a plot rich in detail, and a shocking conclusion make this a gripping read. Highly recommended."
- Ronnie H. Terpening in Library Journal

Table Mountain is the backdrop to everything in Cape Town. Here, you can see the N1 highway as photographed from the Tygerberg. Behind the road lies Parow and Goodwood, the neighbourhood where Mat Joubert grew up.

The murder scene: When Ferreira takes his wife's dogs to the beach for a walk, this is where he goes - and meets the Mauser murderer. Agian, Table Mountain is in the background.
