The Dark Flood

by Deon Meyer

Grove Atlantic

    In South Africa, Benny Griessel and Vaughn Cupido are somewhat mismatched police detectives, recently removed from an elite unit and sent down to a college town to work a missing persons case. Things get very complicated, suspenseful and violent. There is a fair amount of humor in the detectives' relationship but also quite a lot of blood in the case. 

    The writing is brilliantly descriptive of the place and people which makes it well worth reading but not for the squeamish.
