Paul Mendelson

    Paul Mendelson, ktorého písanie príbehov na škole bolo spočiatku len záľubou, sa neskôr stal najmladším britským dramatikom uvedeným v National Theatre. Dvadsať rokov sa venoval písaniu o strategických hrách, čím sa zaradil medzi najpredávanejších autorov svojho žánru v UK. Jeho debutový detektívny román bol nominovaný na prestížnu cenu CWA Golden Dagger, pričom jeho neskoršie diela, často situované v Južnej Afrike, ocenili pre ich politické presahy a napínavé zápletky. Mendelsonove romány, ktoré sú prekladané do viacerých jazykov, vynikajú jeho jedinečným štýlom a schopnosťou vtiahnuť čitateľa do deja.

    • Even after the release of Nelson Mandela and the promise of free elections, extremist groups terrorized South Africa, bombing churches, opening fire in bars and restaurants. Nearly twenty-five years ago, as a young Captain, Vaughn de Vries finds himself in pursuit of the suspects of a fatal bombing in his precinct, under the command of one of the most feared white police officers of the time: Major Kobus Nel. Out of radio communication and without clear evidence, the SAPS barge into a township and set off a chain of events which will resonate for a quarter of a century. In Cape Town in 2015, the heiress of an Apartheid-era industrialist is found murdered, her body posed to suggest a racial hate crime. But, as Colonel Vaughn De Vries investigates, possible motives for her death abound: a highly controversial art exhibition, her sexual preferences, her relationship - as yet unknown by the press - with the son of one of the heroes of The Struggle.
