Review
Edgar Award winner Thomas Cook has a string of beautifully written and elegantly plotted thrillers to his name. A Dancer in the Dust is one of his best ever. This lush story combines current events and a wonderfully realized love story.” Globe & Mail
Cook excels at merging contemporary and past storylines into one narrative . . . [and] masterfully captures the tumultuous state of a country in upheaval.” Kirkus Reviews
Not since John Le Carré’s The Mission Song have I seen such a loving and sorrowful portrait of modern Africa. . . . A dark read, but a worthwhile one.” News & Observer (Raleigh)
[A] very readable genre-twisting thriller/love story/crime novel that will captivate readers from the start to the finish.” Huntington News
Highly recommended.” I Love a Mystery
