Praise for James McClure

“[McClure is] a distinguished crime novelist who has created in his Afrikaner Tromp Kramer and Bantu Sergeant Zondi two detectives who are as far from stereotypes as any in the genre.”
—P. D. James

“McClure’s stories . . . have been noteworthy in equal measure for their poignant evocation of [South Africa], their perception of partnership, and their acute sense of sexual obsession.”
—Time Magazine

“The pace is fast, the solution ingenious. Above all, however, is the author’s extraordinary naturalistic style. He is that rarity—a sensitive writer who can carry his point without forcing.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Soho completes its reprinting of one of the finest police series to begin in the 1970s, James McClure’s eight books about Tromp Kramer and Mickey Zondi, a South African biracial detective team in the days of Apartheid.”  
—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
