A Muslim attack in Cape Town? Too far-fetched. It can’t be true. So why is the Presidential Intelligence Agency so desperate to intercept a shipment? Why is the CIA bringing in its big guns? And why, if it’s only a rumor, is it having such violent consequences—on the life of Milla Strachan, a former housewife who just wanted to live a little dangerously; Lemmer, a freelance bodyguard turned reluctant smuggler; and former cop Mat Joubert, who’s working on his first case as a private eye? Before long, the trail of death stretches from the Chizarira to the Cape Waterfront.
In his eagerly awaited seventh novel, Meyer moves deftly among a brilliantly rendered cast of characters—farmers, outlaws, gangsters, intelligence agents—and delves deeply into the people, problems, and landscapes of South Africa.

"It's no secret that Patrick Carman is one of my favorite authors. This is his third book written in the style of new media. You read a few chapters and then watch the story unfold on video, another few chapters, more Internet video clues. I think the new idea is fantastic and will keep young readers interested. This new series isn't going to disappoint, Trackers is a great start!!!"

" I thought when I first read it, this is a book for someone into technology but I also think anyone who is not into technology would also enjoy this book. I really liked this book because it sucked you in from the word GO, and the way it is told I have never read another book like it. "
— Tanderton, 2/19/2014" Definately different from most books. Not just in the story layout, which in itself is unique, but also in the way that theres a site with videos and such that accompany parts of the story. It makes the whole book more then just a book, but a full experience. "
— Mandy, 2/16/2014" I really shouldn't be allowed to start any books until I write a proper review for this book but it's late and I have to get up early for work. Everyone should read and watch this book and the videos attached. So cool!! "
— Mel, 2/3/2014" I liked the idea of the book and its associated videos, games, puzzles, etc than I did the actual book. It felt more like the first third of a good book than a whole piece. "
— Kieran, 1/28/2014" This book didn't really have much of a point. It was just about a guy getting interviewed. I couldn't finish it. "
— Phoebe, 1/27/2014" Total cliff hanger! I need to get the second one to find out what happens!!! "
— Andre'a, 1/20/2014" LOVE IT! Love the combination internet/ book feature. Lots of action. Lots of technology (hackers/ spies). Great for the reluctant reader "
— Laura, 1/12/2014" I am not liking this book as much as I liked Skeleton Creek. "
— Kathleen, 1/11/2014" Awesome book! Inventive and enthralling. A bit of a challenging read, just because of the fast plot and advanced technology used in the book, but I quite enjoyed it :D. Highly reccomend. "
— Spypie, 12/19/2013" good book set up like an interview. also has video links haven't checked those yet either... "
— Stanley, 12/15/2013" A very interesting structure for a book. Everything was in interview form, and the interviewer`s identity remained concealed. "
— Roshni, 12/9/2013" Lots of computer lingo. i did enjoy the mixed media. "
— Katie, 12/8/2013" This was an interesting book about these kids that can do amazing things with computers/technology. I'm curious to see where the next book takes the story. "
— Kim, 12/5/2013" Interesting. Full of computer jargon that I didn't understand very well. Teen genius Adam gathers a group of other smart kids and develop a business to track people--anyone, anywhere. "
— Cheryl, 11/30/2013" 3.5 Stars... it was a little slow at times and sorta confusing. Interesting though! "
— Heather, 9/13/2013" This book was really strange but I enjoyed it. "
— Arik, 9/4/2013" First in a series. Reading this compelling story of four computer genius students who are trying to find hackers and then going online and seeing the story unfold on the screen, does build the tension and adds to the suspense. "
— Caroline, 2/6/2013" This book was kind of confusing... "
— Shanmukh, 1/28/2013" Good story, interesting concept, could have been better. I didn't watch any of the videos but I also usually don't read near a computer. Fast read. Will get next one soon. "
— Nina, 8/14/2012" I like the idea of an interview and story type book! "
— Creativeawesome, 5/30/2012" This is a fun book with computer links to short videos that go with the book. High school and middle school students that enjoy mysteries and computers should love this book. The book was clean. I didn't watch all the videos, but I read the transcripts of the videos that are included in the back. "
— Janet, 12/31/2011" Very interesting to tell this story through an interview, and very effective. The story ends with nothing resolved, so you can't stop very well after just the first book. "
— Marah, 12/4/2011" Very good book, intense and fast-paced after the beginning piling on of information. I love Botswana, so that is probably a factor, but I think the book stands on its on. "
— Darlene, 11/4/2011" This man can write! Three story lines running concurrently and tied together at the end. Superbly drawn characters and a rich sense of place. An unputdownable book. "
— Karen, 10/9/2011" I am a BELIEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!<br/>Deon Meyer RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
— Gavin, 7/7/2011" I love this guy! Great thriller/mystery writer and I always learn so much about post-Apartheid South Africa. This book is a worthy addition to his others. "
