I enjoyed Thirteen Hours by Deon Meyer which is set in South Africa as we follow 13 hours in one day. A young female tourist is found murdered and her friend Rachel is now running for her life to avoid the same fate. Detective Benny Griessel is looking for Rachel hoping to find her before the killers do. Griessel, a white South African, is mentoring black detectives in the investigation of this murder as well as another unrelated case. Griessel is also under pressure as Rachel's father seeks help through the American embassy. Rachel does not trust the police because she has heard the killers discussing them. This is a good suspenseful story. 4/5
