‘‘The Rwandan genocide still casts a long shadow in this haunting, masterful work, which also asks tough questions about international justice’ Financial Times, Thriller of the Year

'Cumming’s concern for his protagonist’s psychological development remains the most distinctive aspect of his writing, but he also deserves kudos for his bold choice of setting, which adds skilful dabs of colour to a tightly wrought tale' The Times
