Central character is a con man who escapes a murder charge by fleeing to Africa but runs for home again when he is found out as the lover of the wife of the president of the African country." — Greer (5 out of 5 stars)

" Very Good; Continuing characted: Amanda Jaffe; a guru, ex-cons, spiteful behind the scenes politicians, third world dictators and lawyers combine in a murder mystery of past and present "

" I liked this book, It was fast paced and had many twists. It was not the best Margolin book. I will keep reading him though. "
" This book is a page turner and never lost my interest. It is store of a petty thief / con man that got in trouble in a number of different ways. Lawyers, prison, money...what more does a book need. "
" Haven't read this author before but did enjoy the book. "
" I love Amanda Jaffe. There. I've said it. "
" pretty good, not great "

" A beautifully written light read.. "
" Well written murder mystery novel about a famous guru guy that comes back to the USA to stand trial for the murder of a US Congressman. Not to bad. "
" I was bored with this one and almost put it down. But I'm glad I didn't. The last 10 pages made it worth while. Amanda gets on my nerves but I like this series enough to read the next one. "
" Thoroughly enjoyed. Love that the twists keep coming right up to the end. "
" I listened to this in my car this summer (thank you, library). I really enjoyed it. It was a suspenseful thriller. I especially liked the scenes that take place in Africa (most are in the US). I recommend this audio book. "
" Not a bad read, but there were a few too many plots going on, some of them (like the Batangan diamonds one) just unnecessary. "
" Good mystery. Lots of twists and turns. "
" last Margolin book I will read....why is it that in every one of his books someone is bound to a straight back chair naked with their legs spread??? I am over it "

" Another great murder mystery from Phillip Margolin that kept me interested from the first page until the last. "
" Pretty good but not memorable. "
