Killing Valerian Zolotov
by
Jonathan Harries
Genre : Fiction
A motley group pf anti poaching activists discover a member of the Russian mafia has kidnapped an Indian geneticist and is holding him hostage on his estate in Namibia. Why is the question? What is he up to? As the group investigates, we also get to know more about the group itself which includes people of multiple nationalities including a Mossad woman assassin from Columbia.
From the crazy traffic ridden roads of India to trophy hunters in Namibia, from the streets of Hong kong to the secret worlds in Russia, Harries tells us an adventurous tale of crime and redemption. Some scenes are funny like the appearance of Vladimir Putin or drinking Putnika to please Putin that it had me laughing.
The writing style is clear and the pace is fast.Most authors lack the sense of humor but Harries weaves it in despite desperate situations. The majestic wild life of Africa are right before your very eyes and makes you want to go on a safari.
Not many books are written about poaching and the money behind poachers though most of us know it happens. Well not anymore. You cannot just ignore a news report about a dead elephant as the book stays with you. What I loved about the book apart from the adventure and wild life is the thread of humor that runs through the whole book.If you wish to buy the book,
