Deon Meyer is a most gifted crime writer, although both "Blood Safari" and "Thirteen Hours" have disappointed. "Thirteen Hours" comprises two storylines, one of which does not hold nearly as well as the other. It results in a somewhat fragmented narrative and a disappointing tying-together of the two stories via a chance occurrence. Unfortunately not in the league of "Devil's Peak" or "Dead Before Dying", although Meyer's visceral writing style leaves no doubt as to his world-class prowess.
