Internationally acclaimed writer Deon Meyer returns to his beloved Benny Griessel series with a case that combines the disappearance of an Old Masters painting with a grisly murder. Early on a May morning in the depth of South Africa's winter, a woman's naked body, washed in bleach, is discovered on a stone wall beside the N2 highway at the top of Sir Lowry's Pass, some thirty-five miles from Cape Town. The local investigation stalls, so the case is referred to Captain Benny Griessel and his colorful partner Vaughn Cupido of the Hawks―the Directorate for Priority Crime Investigations. The woman proves to be Alicia Lewis, an expert in old Dutch Masters paintings specializing in the recovery of valuable lost art. Discovering the two men she had contacted before coming to South Africa reveals what she was seeking―a rare painting by Carel Fabritius, Rembrandt's finest student, not seen since it disappeared from Delft in 1654. But how Lewis died, why, and at whose hand shocks even the two veteran detectives. The Woman in the Blue Cloak is a compact jewel of a thriller, filled with Deon Meyer's earthy dialogue, clever plotting, and the memorable characters that have peopled all of Deon Meyer's award-winning novels.

"Au Cap, Benny Griessel et Vaughn Cupido, de la brigade des Hawks, sont confrontés à un crime déconcertant : le corps d'un ancien membre de leurs services, devenu consultant en protection personnelle, a été balancé par une fenêtre du Rovos, le train le plus luxueux du monde. Le dossier est pourri, rien ne colle et pourtant, en haut lieu, on fait pression sur eux pour qu'ils lâchent l'enquête. À Bordeaux, Daniel Darret, ancien combattant de la branche militaire de l'ANC, mène une vie modeste et clandestine, hanté par la crainte que son passé ne le rattrape. Vœu pieux : par une belle journée d'août, un ancien camarade vient lui demander de reprendre du service. La situation déplorable du pays justifie un attentat. Darret, qui cède à contre cœur, est aussitôt embarqué, via Paris et Amsterdam, dans la mission la plus dangereuse qu'on lui ait jamais confiée. Traqué par les Russes comme par les services secrets sud-africains, il ne lâchera pas sa proie pour autant..."--Page 4 de la couverture
