“Series fans will appreciate the deeper exploration of John’s and Grace’s characters as they reconcile their feelings for each other. Another perfectly calibrated installment in Pearson’s thriller world tour (with earlier stops in Shanghai, Amsterdam, and Istanbul); puzzling clues and immersive, full-sensory descriptions of Kenya balance cutthroat international criminal networks and teeth-clenching firefights.”
—Booklist
