Frederick Ramsay was born in Baltimore and received a doctorate from the University of Illinois. After a stint in the army, he joined the faculty of the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He is also an ordained Episcopal priest and an accomplished public speaker. In addition to the Ike Schwartz mysteries, the Botswana mysteries, and the Jerusalem mysteries, Ramsay is the author of scientific and general articles, tracts, and theses and coauthor of the Baltimore Declaration. He lives in Surprise, Arizona, with his wife and partner, Susan.
As the World Cup matches near in neighboring South Africa, concern rises in Botswana about illicit activities in the country. And with good reason, considering the smuggling of coltan, a highly prized mineral found near a gorilla habitat; the poaching of big-game animals; and the various activities of the pseudoscientific Orgonise Africa. Then the U.S. secretary of state plans secret meetings with North Korea during the games, and top Russian crime bosses get in on the action. All of which keeps Kgabo Modise, a rising star in Botswana’s intelligence operations, very busy; he’s also working with Sanderson, the newly promoted female supervisor of Chobe National Park, where a murder has occurred. There’s a lot going on here, and keeping the bad guys straight as they double-cross each other, and the body count rises, can be a chore. Still, the Sanderson-Modise relationship and the parallel activity of a big-game animal—gorilla-pack leader Patriarche—add interest to this second in the author’s Botswana series (following Predators, 2009). Nonstop action, involving both humans and gorillas; touches of wry humor; and a vividly portrayed setting combine for an unusual but satisfying thriller. --Michele Leber
