Meyer weaves a web of intrigue, deception thrills and violence in as good a murder mystery/police procedural as you’re likely to read. The richly drawn characters are flesh and blood and the plots all too realistic. His eye for South Africa and keen view of people and places bring the story to dramatic and atmospheric life. In a country with 11 official languages, he captures its cultural diversity, while doing a great job bringing Cape Town to overseas readers.
... actually two books in one. It’s a tense assassination thriller set in France, and it’s an intriguing police procedural set in South Africa. Although the two stories develop independently, both are different aspects of the same plot and they come together at the end in an unexpected and satisfying way.
... mystery, intrigue and riveting suspense.
Two disparate plotlines merge to form an explosive conclusion in this political thriller.
... superb.
A double-barreled tale that’s sprawling, shape-shifting, and, in the end, deeply satisfying..
