Excellent! Love the writing style. Draws you in from the first page to the very last. Successfully captures all the nuances of racial tension in the heart a multicultural city.

Intéressant premier roman d’un auteur gallois, homme à la maison. L’Angleterre sous toutes ses couleurs : hindoue pakistanaise, jamaïcaine, musulmane, chrétienne. C’est une Angleterre métisse que Rod Duncan met en toile de fond de ce thriller où l’inspecteur Marjorie “Mo” Akanbai, chargée des relations intercommunautaires doit se battre pour sa vie et contre la montre. Racisme, xénophobie, dialogue de sourds, ajoutez un peu de corruption policière et vous avez un mélange qui vous tient en haleine jusqu’à la fin.
Un premier roman réussi.
