Praise for Bad Seeds
"The world's worst nightmare--terrorists obtaining enough
weapons-grade uranium for a bomb. And now they know where to get
it. As frightening and believable as tomorrow's headlines."
--Michael Stanley, author of the award-winning Detective Kubu
series "Timely and explosive."
--Mystery Scene Magazine "[Mackenzie] channels the strengths of
noir into an engaging examination of a country that is at the same
time one of the most hopeful and most troubled in the world."
--Los Angeles Review of Books "Beguilling."
--Toronto Star "Oh, Jo'burg! Look out. PI Jade de Jong is on a
case. She is as relentless and resilient as ever in this fifth
outing. There is lots of kick-ass Millennial appeal here. Perfect
for fans of J. D. Robb's Eve Dallas and Cara Black's Aimée
Leduc."
--Booklist, Starred Review
"Jade de Jong has squeaked through some scary situations, but her
luck just might have run out in the explosive fifth outing for
Mackenzie's steely Johannesburg PI . . . A propulsive page-turner
featuring distinctly South African characters and concerns."
--Publishers Weekly "Adrenaline-fueled action and enough twists and
turns to keep even the most astute readers on their toes, this is a
thriller with a heroine as forcefully engaging as the subject
matter."
--Kirkus Reviews "[Readers] who relish fast-paced thrillers with
international locations will be captivated."
--Library Journal Praise for the Jade de Jong investigations
"Remarkable."
--The New York Times Book Review "Mackenzie's shrewd plotting is
enlivened by her sharp eye for both Johannesburg's high life and
its desperate poverty."
--The Seattle Times "A terrifying ride into a world of corporate
greed, potential terrorism and the ways that South Africa's future
still resonates with its brutal past."
--Richmond Times-Dispatch "Top-notch crime fiction . . . A terrific
adventure with intrigue and a beautifully plotted mystery."
--Crimespree Magazine
