Breakfast with Martin Bester spoke to South African author Deon Meyer about his new book, ‘Scorpio Rising’, and the story behind one of his earlier novels, ‘Fever’, which featured a devastating pandemic years before Covid-19 emerged.
The conversation explored how real-life events, research and unexpected connections shape Meyer’s crime fiction.
