Review of 'Gallows Hill' on 'LibraryThing'
Another evocative thriller set in Cape Town, South Africa featuring a principled if embattled cop and a feminist social activist who consults with the police on crimes against women as a profiler. In this case, a large number of remains is uncovered on Gallows Hill, where executions were once held; only one of the skeletons is relatively new ... These are good books, with a lot of action and two compelling lead characters, but the real star is South Africa itself,a complex and troubled country trying to reinvent itself.
