“Sweeps along at mach-Ludlum speed.” —Kirkus Reviews on Blood Diamonds
“Blood Diamonds couldn’t be timelier. [Land] deftly weaves a complex plot involving Palestinians, Israelis, Russians, South Africans, and none other than the world’s number one terrorist, Osama bin Laden, into a fascinating thriller.” —Providence Journal
“Land packs a load of info and action into his fifth thriller. . . . Kamal and Barnea [are] touching and accessible characters. . . . There are also some sharp political insights into how prospects in the Middle East have deteriorated.” —Publishers Weekly on Blood Diamonds
“Jon Land shows a true feel for detective work and the irony of pursuing elusive principles of justice in a region torn by ancient strifes. . . . But Land has grander designs for his story, which whisks off to Rome and turns into a full-bore thriller involving secret armies and a 2,000-year-old conspiracy. Land is comfortable on this turf, too, bringing a terrible conviction to the religious war he envisions.” —The New York Times Book Review on A Walk in the Darkness
“Ben Kamal is rapidly becoming one of the best and most unique crime serial characters in all the genre. . . . A Walk in the Darkness is even more slick and tight than its predecessors.” —The Boston Book Review
“The trail is as a torturous as a John LeCarré tale. . . . Land’s writing is slick and the action is swift.” —The Denver Post on The Walls of Jericho
“Better than anything by Tom Clancy.” —The Hartford Courant on The Walls of Jericho
“The fuse is burning, and the Middle East is ready to explode in this gripping roller-coaster ride of crime and intrigue . . . has the impact of a punch to the solar plexus.” —Stephen Coonts on The Walls of Jericho
