Dead at Daybreak

Synopsis (Credit: www.amazon.co.uk)
An antiques dealer is burned with a blowtorch and executed with a single shot to the back of the head. The only clues at the scene are a scrap of paper and an unusual choice of gun.
Ex-cop Zatopek 'Zed' van Heerden has just seven days to solve the case — an almost impossible task made even harder when he discovers that, until a few years ago, there was no proof that the victim even existed ...
(Bought second-hand at Books for All, Plumstead.)
A convincing South African story with interesting characters and just the right mix of building tension and wry humour. One gets the feeling, even in this, one of Meyer's earlier novels, that he loves his characters.
Given to Boekbubbles.
