Reviews

[Lyda Van Den Bos]

Beetje moeilijk om erin te komen, op het einde spannend.

[Darcee]

A murder in the basement of the United Nations, which is essentially a country of its own in which membership have diplomatic immunity. Crimes are investigated within and this one falls to the duty of Sam Windrush, a deputy in UN legal affairs. But Sam is operating at a huge disadvantage. Misinformation, misdirection, and corruption from above and all around him in the UN headquarters thwart his progress to find the killer.

[Marc Tiefenthal]

Vrij spannend boek. Onvoorspelbaar. Wie echter niet vertrouwd is met bureaucratie zal dit boek niet interessant vinden. Desalniettemin een aanrader.

Gripping. Liked the plot. It was a bit languagey, though.
