The security director for a South African nuclear power plant hires Jade to investigate an employee, following an attempted break-in possibly arranged by his predecessor, now a member of an environmental group. Jade ends up tracing him to a seedy motel where one of the company directors is murdered. Jade and the employee go on the run while a local constable Mweli and Jade's former lover, David, investigate. Jassy does a nice job of keeping the reader guessing who are the good guys and bad guys, including an appearance of Jade's mercenary friend, Robbie. Suspenseful, recommended. 4.5 stars. ( ) Exceptional, as always; thank you, Jassy Mackenzie. The Jade de Jong series (of which this is the fifth) has edged out the Scandinavians to become my favourite Crime writing. The stories are compelling and the South African settings beautifully depicted. Jade de Jong will have broad appeal to anyone interested in the crime writing genre. I can imagine these stories being the gateway to the genre for an entirely new generation of readers. So, five stars: earned for the rich character portraits, the complexity of the plot, the unusual setting and the relentlessness pace of the action. An outstanding achievement. This book is also notable to me because its the 100th Soho Crime thriller I've read. This is a terrific imprint...thank you, Soho Press. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
