The Brother

Reviews / Votes

'Authoritative ... Characters are set against moral issues involving terrorism and familial responsibility' Guardian. 'A gripping and urgent insight into how poverty-stricken and jobless Arab youths become radicalised ... from one of Sweden's most promising thriller writers' Irish Independent. 'A prime slice of Nordic Noir. Zander is part of the influx of new blood into the genre, and this third novel is both forceful and subtle ... What we have here are the two crucial ingredients of Scandicrime: powerfully orchestrated tension set against a strong dose of social commentary' Independent. 'One of the best thrillers I've read this year. It will simply take your breath away ... This is an ambitious thriller that really does deliver on all levels and its breadth is wonderful and entertaining' 5/5, Nudge Book. 'Fresh, raw and exciting' Sunday Times. 'Well written ... I was a reader that loved having a slower read in amongst a whole host of fast-paced action sequences. Cracking' Falcata Times. 'The plotting is clever - and surprisingly believable. The characters are strong and well written, and Zander's research - he spent time in Syria and draws on his political experiences to flesh out the international chicanery and inter-governmental dealings - makes this ambitious thriller which delivers on many levels well worth the read' Crime Review.
