J had bought the novel The seven riders (Editions du Masque Collection Labyrinths, 1999, ISBN 978-2702496688; A famine of horses , 1994, VO) Patricia Finney Chisholm curiosity. I wanted to discover through fiction, I touched a world through some history books as The Border Reivers by Keith Durham, with beautiful illustrations by Angus McBride. I then used the novel's publication in French translation, not having found the original in a bookstore near my house.

The novel is set in the late sixteenth century (summer 1592), in the border area between England and Scotland, stirred for over three centuries by Scottish clans and quarrels between English families, and even within clans and families. The central character is Sir Robert Carey, a young English nobleman with some support for the court of Queen Elizabeth, the character of the novel is directly inspired by "true" Sir Robert Carey man of action and diplomacy, whose life is known to us through the memoirs he wrote.

The novel presents a first interest I would call "documentary" in that it showcases and pictures that territory through its people, its places like Carlisle, fortified houses and its wild moorland.

As for the plot of the novel, she combines three levels, the central question of this detective story (the murder of the son of the head of the powerful clan Graham) is caught between the politico-strategic conducted between English and Scottish on one side, and the difficulties of Sir Robert Carey establish its authority in this region where rivalries between local despots and corruption weigh all their weight.

Even if the motive for the crime rests on springs already treated dozens of times in novels and plays, the three levels of intrigue here are sufficiently well mixed so that they no do not appear artificially plated to each other as can occur in many "historical thrillers."

As far as I know, this novel is the only series to those series featuring Sir Robert Carey to have benefited from a French translation. To find other titles ( A Season of Knives , 1995; A surfeit of Guns , 1996; A Plague of Angels , 1998), they must be read in the original.

Safari bloody

D are stories of relationships between a bodyguard and his client, it is not lacking in thrillers paper or cinema, and some of the syrupy Bodyguard Mick Jackson (1992) in soft-the-knee The Sentinel by Gerald Petievich (2006) brought to the screen under the same title by Clark Johnson (2006), do not fly much higher than the story between Daniel Ducruet and Stephanie of Monaco.

Suffice to say that I was a little suspicious of the idea of embarking in Blood Safari of Deon Meyer (published by Hodder & Stoughton, 2009, ISBN 978 - 0-340-95358-7, translated from Afrikaans into English by KL Seegers) after reading the back cover. Between Lemmer, the bodyguard with a troubled past, and Emma Le Roux, his client who wants to know if it was indeed his brother disappeared 20 years she has seen on TV I feared the trap with water-de-rose, so it is with caution that I flew to South Africa, its contrasts between cities and wilderness, its racial tensions, and young women distressed protected by bodyguards taciturn.

But I quickly abandoned my caution to immerse myself in this story led to a run, which leaves virtually no respite for the reader. Plus the novel progresses, the characters take on depth: there is the force behind the apparent weakness of Emma Le Roux, and the fragility behind the solid wall of Lemmer. I let myself get involved in this investigation where defenders of the wilderness seem ready to extremes to defend against the actions of men, where intrigue mix in a labyrinth in which one enjoys getting lost.

If I had, however, highlight an issue that left me lukewarm, what are some passages in the book when it comes to wildlife riches of South Africa and they gave me the Deon Meyer impression that failed to take distance with books and magazines that inspired naturalists for part of this novel, and he allowed himself to be the speaker, in a tone somewhat artificial, rather than the author of crime fiction. I regret that it has given almost no weight to it as reflections on how, possibly extreme, that some are tempted to resort to protect wildlife.

However, these few passages do not lose the overall quality of this novel, the social and political ideas it raises, and especially the wonderful plot that Deon Meyer gives us the smoke screen behind which we ride early in the novel.

A very good thriller that you can read in French under the title Lemmer invisible (Editions Points, Points collection Crime, 2010, ISBN 2757816349, you should read either the Afrikaans or English.
