Devil's Peak is a detective novel by South African novelist Deon Meyer, first published in Afrikaans under the title Infanta in 2004.
Thobela Mpayipheli is a former Umkhonto we Sizwe soldier and KGB assassin, who hangs up his boots to take care of his adopted son Pakamile.
When Pakamile is killed in a random shooting by armed robbers, Thobela has only one thing on his mind: to do justice and hunt down child abusers across the country.
Devil's Peak was adapted as a five-episode TV series for M-Net, with Hilton Pelser starring as Benny Griessel.
