Harbinger
An exiled black revolutionary leader escapes from police surveillance in Botswana.
A white labor union leader is found murdered in the “Blacks Only” lounge of the Port Elizabeth train station.
A high-ranking government official is activated by a foreign power after sixteen years as a “sleeper” agent.
An American arms dealer assembles a shipment of weapons destined for a South African gold mining company.
Each of these seemingly disparate events leads Homicide Detective Nigel Mansell to an ingenious plot to infiltrate the extraordinarily rich South African diamond mining system and to instigate a long overdue revolution against that country’s tyrannical government.
Andrew Greeley says of The Harbinger, “A wonderful suspense story by a skilled author who will quickly rise to the top of his profession. You won’t be able to put it down.”

This was my first Mark Graham book. Set in South Africa it, of course, pit good against evil. There were several surprising twists near the end of the book. Overall, it was a good story, well written, that kept your attention with just a little romance between the murders and espionage. No matter what part of the world you live in it is the same, corruption, greed, secrets, at the highest level of government. I look forward to reading other books by this author.

Pretty good police thriller set in South Africa during emergence from apartheid. Dirty politics, plots to blow up gold mines, a nationwide strike, and a love story between two people who aren't sure they can trust each other.

An fascinating book. It isn't actually a GOOD book, per se, but the non-fiction that is imbedded in the fictional story is riveting.
I say non-fiction because everything, from the Bible verses to actual recent history, are all true. This book is a real page-turner.
