"Joburg Steele", by Graham Tempest

An Oliver Steele Thriller

Oliver is a very capable accountant/investigator who works for a rich client this time he is sent to South Africa to trace fifty million stolen dollars by a gang of blackmailers that targets government ministers. His investigation brings him on a lethal path through the streets of Protea City, into the Kruger game reserve and to Dubai.

This thriller works well as a stand-alone so no worry if you pick it up at this point.

Kidnapping, murder and corruption is at the heart of this fast-paced thriller. Mayhem is what propels the narrative forward in a very captivating way. Mr. Tempest is relentless on pacing, vivid description of locales and peppers his storyline with ruthless characters. I love Oliver’s trials and triumphs and Mr. Tempest gives us a truck load of action to follow. His main player is a well-define, a no –nonsense and loveable character. Rebekka Moran plays an important part as his sidekick and follows him down the lethal path where gunmen will stop at nothing.

This tale is quite interesting and very entertaining. It also gives us an insight onto financial crimes and into the mindset of corrupted individuals. What a fast and fun read “Joburg Steele” turned out to be. Smooth sailing from start to finish. I loved it.
