We follow in this book, in Racine tragedy, the adventures of Matt Burn, an American who lives with his pregnant wife and son in the upscale suburbs of Cape Town. The whims of fate are going to put on the road in this family a policeman of the worst kind, an ex-con disfigured and mortally dangerous of which only the old dog softens the dry heart, and a federal police officer to clean the ranks of the police.
The universe is impressive narrowly Behind the main tourist destination in South Africa, we find all the misery of the Flats, a Métis ghetto in which all human depravity are concentrated. It is often very creepy, very hard, but seizing control.
We are witnessing with dismay to the descent into hell Matt Burn (predestined name) and the inevitability of this story gives a lot of strength to the story. Everything revolves around the concepts of guilt and redemption, but in a very fine way.
All along the book remains credible portraits are very precise, very accurate, the chapters are short and alternating between different characters is very successful. The author has been careful not to make any too friendly protagonist and the different points of view do not generate frustration, because all the characters in the story are fascinating, especially the worst of them.
An uncompromising book, often very hard, written with great talent.
I can be more like this first book Blondie and death, paying too much in clean facilities to thrillers.
Bloods mixtures is a great book if you like thrillers do not miss this gem.
