Paul Mendelson Boeken
Paul Mendelsons vroege passie voor verhalen vertellen leidde ertoe dat hij de jongste toneelschrijver werd die ooit in het National Theatre werd opgevoerd. Twee decennia lang was hij de bestverkopende auteur van het VK op het gebied van denksporten, voordat hij overstapte naar veelgeprezen misdaadfictie. Zijn debuutroman werd genomineerd voor de CWA Golden Dagger, en latere werken, vaak gesitueerd in Zuid-Afrika, kregen aanzienlijke erkenning voor hun politieke resonantie en meeslepende verhaallijnen. Mendelsons romans, die nu in meerdere talen zijn vertaald, tonen zijn onderscheidende stem en meesterlijke plotontwikkeling, en trekken lezers aan in boeiende mysteries.

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.
