Memo From Turner by Tim Willocks
What happens when a man of absolute integrity finds himself trapped in a world of absolute corruption? During a weekend spree in Cape Town a young, rich Afrikaner fatally injures a teenage street girl with his Range Rover but is too drunk to know that he has hit her.
It’s 24 years since Willocks’s Green River Rising was publishedMemo From Turner is even better. It’s a devastating indictment of modern South Africa. -- Mark Sanderson * Evening Standard *
Marked out by the elegance of the writing coupled with the brutality of the action... A ferocious read. * Mail on Sunday *
A violent thriller that pits integrity against corruption in an arid, pitiless landscape. As the corpses and moral contradictions multiply, Memo from Turner ticks all the boxes for righteous machismo. -- Laura Wilson * Guardian *
Delivered with unrelenting impact… there are echoes here of the late American novelist Robert Stone in this picture of endemic corruption. -- Barry Forshaw * Financial Times *
A brutal tale that is part modern Western, part Jack Reacher adventure. * The Sun *
