“A brilliant novel of memory, reconciliation, and revenge. Ebersohn was always one of South Africa's best, and this new book--the beginning of, I hope, a series--shows why.... Ebersohn never loses the narrative thread, and there isn't an extraneous syllable in this tight, intelligent novel that weaves history and politics. Definitely one of the best mysteries of the year.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto) on The October Killings

“His horrors, rooted so closely in history, have a nightmare quality that's hard to shake.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The October Killings

“Deftly mixing past and present in a complex plot that pits justice against moral ambiguity...he vividly portrays a divided nation... .Highly recommended.” —Library Journal (starred review) on The October Killings

“South African author Ebersohn kicks off a promising new series... .The complexities of South Africa a decade after the end of white rule help fuel a compelling plot that builds to several dramatic climaxes.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The October Killings
