Review:
"This is two for the price of one - the finely crafted thriller you'd expect from Mankell, and the powerful social comment you wouldn't" (Daily Sport)
"On one level, it is a mystery; but it is also an angry polemic on a subject that Mankell feels strongly about - the unnecessary suffering of AIDS victims in Africa" (The Times)
"A journey into the darkest reaches of exploitation" (Daily Telegraph)
"Mankell is writing with his heart on his sleeve, and the subject matter is a worthy one" (Irish Times)
"Inventive, funny and worryingly prophetic" (Guardian)
