The First Rule Of Survival by Paul Mendelson

The First Rule Of Survival by Paul Mendelson

Set against the richly described backdrop of Cape Town, this chilling psychological thriller reveals its terrible secrets, each one more shocking than the last.

An excellent, uncompromising crime thriller made even better by its setting.. the story is two journeys in one, and I'm glad I took both. -- Lee Child
A jaw-droppingly brilliant crime thriller. Imagine The Killing moved to Cape Town and into the landscape of the hot and dusty African veld. -- Philip Glenister
The First Rule of Survival is an incredibly atmospheric, complex and dazzling debut from a thrilling and authentic new voice in crime fiction. -- Brian McGilloway
An impressive debut * The Times *
