Thrown to the Wolves: In this final volume of the Wolf Trilogy, New Zealand journalist Steve Carpenter is eking a precarious existence on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus. Suffering from battle fatigue, he keeps busy writing about the coup de d'état and the Turkish invasion of the previous summer. He also, at times, travels to conflict zones in the Middle East, filing profile features for the London press. A casual phone call to his cousin Inspector Zymaras finds Carpenter been driven to the Red-Villages of southern Cyprus, where a body has been discovered. Meanwhile, another murder scene is unfolding in an upscale hotel in the new beach resort of Agia Napa. To the dismay of the local police, both crimes involve tourists which have serious implications for the coming holiday season. However, to the intrepid Carpenter, they present an opportunity to delve into the murky world of sex-tourism, forged passports and international terrorism. A gripping whodunit with colourful characters; Thrown to the Wolves explores kinship and conflict on an island scarred by political skulduggery and violent extremism. A thrilling and thought-provoking read..... MICHAEL O'LEARY - Landfall the Hour of the Grey Wolf ... is a crime story ... in many ways, it defies the genre. It is literary fiction as well, experimental in form, so experimental that, simply linked together with logic, the parts should not work together to form that coherent whole. And yet they do. ... a compelling page-turner, a classic whodunit. ... I kept turning the pages and am certain other readers will too. The overall effect of The Hour of the Grey Wolf cannot be denied: the setting and characters are still resonating with me ...ANTONY MILLEN - Crime Watch... is for those who like comedy, tragedy, a murder mystery, and romance along with a wide range of cultural and historical references, conservation ethics and political insight. The New Zealand/Cypriot narrator can offer both an insider and an outsider view of the situation in Cyprus when tensions between Greeks and Turks, as well as factions within the Greek community, were at their height. Surely, something for everyone. NELSON WATTIE... I recommend it on two levels - a literary experiment and a ripping good yarn. PAUL BROOKS - Midweek and NZ Herald... is a handsome book and something to be really proud of. A real achievement - and a remarkable work in broadening the range and the depth of inquiry of the New Zealand novel. KEVIN IRELAND - NZ poet/novelist... Moisa takes the readers on an exciting journey influenced by his roots with this compelling literary page turner ...Moisa delivers a unique and atmospheric whodunnit that is richly textured with history, philosophy and labyrinthine politics. Pleasingly it's the first in a series. CRAIG SISTERSON - New Zealand Books Wolves in Dogs' Clothing No. 2 in fascinating trilogy ... Chris has done his research and knows the time and place of which he writes ... but his own writing skills give honesty to the characters and how they live their lives. ... Once introduced to the novels of Chris Moisa one is hooked. PAUL BROOKS - Midweek/New Zealand Herald Moisa gives the reader a terrific geography lesson, in the style of Elmore Leonard ... It is an excellent read for one who enjoys a well-spun story. AMAZON BOOKSMoisa writes with the assuredness of someone who is in total command of his craft ... It's a style that I appreciate. I learn while I am enthralled by the action. DOUG DAVIDSON - River City Press ... Like all good historical fiction, there are plenty of other interesting things to learn ... Moisa accurately embeds his story in this tumultuous era ... If the second part of any trilogy should take its protagonist into the darkest places, then Moisa has succeeded in spades.
