About this title

Review

Praise for "The October Killings"

"A brilliant novel of memory, reconciliation, and revenge. Ebersohn was always one of South Africa's best, and this new book--the beginning of, I hope, a series--shows why. . . . Definitely one of the best mysteries of the year."
--"The Globe and Mail"

"His horrors, rooted so closely in history, have a nightmare quality that's hard to shake."
--"Kirkus Reviews "(starred review)
