In Atlanta, Charlie Cortez MD diagnoses his mistress with an unknown neurodegenerative disease that is inducing violent and bloody psychosis. The apparent cause? Consumption of infected human flesh...
In Vienna, Dr. Reeta Kapoor, eminent anthropologist, is forced to travel to a remote Indian archipelago in order to rescue her brother - he has become embroiled in a plot to thwart the colonization of a mysterious and scarcely contacted native tribe and is in grave danger...
In Dubai, Kelly Maelzel, in-demand Australian zoologist, is blackmailed into accepting a new job - protecting the visitors to a strange new project. A millionaire philanthropist has created a game reserve where the livestock are particularly violent, unpredictable... and human.
The link: Savage Island, a four-day eastward sail from Chennai and home to the most fearsome legend in the Bay of Bengal; a cannibalistic tribe of natives who ritually destroy anyone unfortunate or foolish enough to set foot on their tropical paradise island. But one megalomaniac wants to sell that paradise to the world. Unfortunately, the natives have other ideas.
Just when you thought that Harvey couldn’t get any better, up he pops with yet another brilliantly constructed, coolly written, chillingly sharp and utterly contemporary procedural.
—— Henry Sutton , Daily MirrorJohn Harvey is not just a fine crime novelist but a fine writer, and an adornment to his chosen genre. I devoured Good Bait in a day, and defy any reader to do otherwise.Great stuff.
—— John ConnollyJohn Harvey returns in resounding form … Terrific plot and, in Karen Shields, a splendid new heroine.
—— Marcel Berlins , The TimesIntricate, character-driven plotting and a large canvas full of telling detail lift this above the average police procedural.
—— Laura Wilson , GuardianJohn Harvey shows he is one of the best crime writers around: perhaps even Britain's answer to the great Elmore Leonard
—— Mail on SundayGood Bait proves that John Harvey is always prepared to tackle something new and ambitious.
—— Barry Forshaw , IndependentHarvey really does have his finger on the pulse of what is happening in the criminal underworld and some of the more deprived areas of London. There's a real sense, not just of what's happening, but of why it's happening and where there are gaps in the net. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
—— thebookbag.co.ukWhat makes this book and John Harvey stand out is the writing and the characters... If you love crime you've got to read John Harvey.
