Synopsis

Six-foot five-inch Thobela “Tiny” Mpayipheli was once a feared assassin and freedom fighter, trained by the Stasi and KGB. In post-apartheid South Africa, he’s happily working in a garage. But Tiny’s quiet domestic life is interrupted by a desperate plea from the daughter of a trusted old friend: he’s being held hostage after taking an incriminating hard drive and needs help. Tiny’s old training kicks in, and as he races across the South African landscape on a stolen BMW motorcycle to the rendezvous point, he is pursued by several interested and hostile forces, including South Africa’s Presidential Intelligence Unit. None of them have a clue what they’re up against.

Goodreads review by Chomsky on August 13, 2019

"Codice: cacciatore" di Deon Meyer è un potente thriller in cui la tensione non viene mai meno ed è ambientato in un Paese poco frequentato dal genere, il Sudafrica. Un modesto inserviente viene improvvisamente chiamato a portare un pacchetto ad un suo vecchio amico a Lusaka, in Zaire. Quello che a p......more
