Review
'A highly readable, inventive thriller' (Publishers Weekly )
'As the plot unfolded, I found myself constantly surprised. Jon Evans's plotting is excellent . . . and at the end all the strands were tied up perfectly. I never wanted to put the book down.' (Emily Barr on TRAIL OF THE DEAD )
'In this haunting, suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure' (Publishers Weekly on TRAIL OF THE DEAD )
'You're hooked. Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... The characters are delightfully delineated by their speech patterns ...beautifully controlled ... not the least satisfying aspect of this pacy thriller for the 21st century is the way things go on happening until the last page.' (The Times on TRAIL OF THE DEAD ) --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description
Paul Wood was just a tourist in battle-scarred Sarajevo. Then an unexpected encounter changed his life. Now he is a desperate woman's only hope of escape. To get her to safety, he must find a way through the minefield of warlords, criminals, and peacekeepers that is postwar Bosnia. Pursued by brutal gangsters, unable to leave the country legally, Paul agrees to do a job for a shadowy group of human traffickers, in exchange for safe passage. The traffickers seem friendly. The job seems harmless. But when he discovers the secrets seething beneath, the repercussions will propel him on a perilous journey around the world - from a warlord's compound in lawless Albania, through the jungles of Latin America, and towards an explosive confrontation at an extraordinary festival in the Nevada desert ...

From the Publisher
Jon Evans won the Canadian CWA first crime novel prize and this, his second novel, is as pacey and exciting as the first. Evans is a genius at writing up-to-the-minute thrillers that span all the Earth's and web's possibilities in an increasingly globalised and computerised world. Heis writing has a terrific sense of place which comes from travelling six months in every year. His plots may be original and twisty but also, terrifyingly credible.
