Night of Knives

Veronica Kelly came to Africa to start her life over. Still reeling from her divorce, she is grateful when a handsome stranger invites her to join a tour to visit gorillas in Uganda's wild Impenetrable Forest — a trip that goes desperately wrong when their group is captured by brutal gunmen.

Reviews:

«Evans's plots teem with well-drawn characters and terse, well-controlled dialogue. There are plenty of twists and turns and the non-stop action is guaranteed to leave readers breathless.» — Lancashire Evening Post

«The novel begins at speed … by the time the page numbers reach double figures, the tourists' apparently Congolese captors are marching them towards the Uganda-Congo border, where the plan is to hold them to ransom. But the plot is more complicated than it seems…" — Sydney Morning Herald

«Suspense aplenty keeps the pages turning.» — Gold Coast Bulletin

«A gripping and terrifying read.» — The York Press

«A vivid eye for detail … a tale that yomps through the bush and across countries.» — Huddersfield Examiner

«Full of twists and turns, this high-concept, high-adrenalin thriller bests most of what has been produced out of Hollywood in recent years. A must read for action junkies everywhere.» — South Coast Register
