The task of establishing yourself as an elite sportsperson is a monumental one. It's not for the faint-hearted. Elite sport is tough, unrelenting and a lot of hard work. The blood, sweat and tears can teach you about yourself in brutal ways, but if you choose to listen, they will teach you lessons that are invaluable for the rest of life's journey. Is there any possibility that this person you discover and become on your journey is the real you God has been waiting to connect with? The one who is exhausted, who couldn't run another step, hit another ball or throw another punch, the one who is starting to question if you have what it takes to go on. Could this be possible, especially when you might not believe God is real in the first place? Come with ’Hepz’ Sullivan as he feverishly pursues his dream of Olympic Gold. After four years of commitment will he finally make these Games his own? SELF. R.K.

R.K. Dickson played AFL for Collingwood Football Club from 1983 to 1987, and is active in coaching and mentoring players at the local level. Living in Melbourne, Australia, he is married to Ivana and has two children, Ben and Olivia.

This series featuring South African detective Benny Griessel “is one of the high points of contemporary crime fiction” and “Icarus is his best yet” (The Guardian). When a plastic-wrapped corpse is found amidst the sand dunes north of Cape Town, it doesn’t take long for the police to identify the body as Ernst Richter—the tech whiz behind MyAlibi, an Internet service that provides unfaithful partners with sophisticated cover stories to hide their affairs. The murder quickly becomes the subject of fierce media speculation, with questions swirling about potential motives and perpetrators. Maybe it was one of MyAlibi’s countless jilted spouses, or perhaps an aggrieved client. With a spotlight shining on the investigation, detective Benny Griessel’s boss wants him on the case—and he won’t take no for an answer. Before the week is out, a connection to a storied family winery comes to light and adds another layer of tension. But Griessel will have to make sure his suspicions are beyond the shadow of a doubt—or it might be his head on the chopping block. “Meyer . . . has long been hailed as South Africa’s greatest crime writer. Icarus places him firmly in the top international league.” —The Times (London) “Meyer has perfected structure and pace, reveals and red herrings, chapter beats, plot and subplot but he enriches the story with fascinating detail.” —The Sunday Times “A meticulously crafted portrait of modern-day South Africa, Icarus is a spellbinding tour de force.” —New York Journal of Books
