Recenzii
Julian Lees' lush use of language conjures up the extravagant and the seedy sides of life in modern Jakarta and transports the reader to its steamy slums and palaces, ratcheting up the tension through myriad false trails, keeping the reader enthralled right up until the denouement
a darkly compelling tale of family secrets, lies and murder
Lee's striking descriptive writing transports you directly to the streets of Jakarta . . . reading this will make you want to book a flight right now . . . the book hurtles towards a conclusion that will keep you guessing right to the very end
This second outing for Inspector Pujasumarta is an excellent police procedural set in a fascinating location featuring an empathetic and immensely likeable central character
Lees' strikingly descriptive writing transports you directly to the streets of Jakarta... this will make you want to book a flight right now
A killer hides in plain sight on the crowded streets of Jakarta . . .
When a woman's scorched remains are discovered in her burnt-out car, Ruud Pujasumarta and his team are brought in to investigate what appears to be a routine homicide. But when another woman's charred body is found a few days later, Ruud also finds a banner unfurled by the corpse's feet. A verse from the Quran is scribbled across it, calling for unbelievers to be burned. Suspicions that the team have a religiously-motivated serial killer on their hands seem to be confirmed when a third body turns up with the same MO.
But who is responsible? Is it the Australian diplomat who was obsessed with the first victim? The imam who preaches Sharia law? Or the military general taking backhanders and living a life of luxury in Jakarta? Despite the many possible suspects, Ruud is suspicious that the killer may actually be someone much closer to home, someone he has trusted for many years. What unravels next is a terrifying chain of events . . . And what Ruud discovers puts his life, and the lives of those around him, in danger.
