“Alexander Logan has a deep understanding of Muslim attitudes and the relationships between Muslim and Christian explored with great perception and sympathy. The action is fast, exciting and it is tempting to read the book quickly from cover to cover.”

“THE RELUCTANT ASSASSIN explores opposing cultures and religious sensitivities, revenge and honour, love and family, wealth and poverty, and crime versus the hard graft of honest living. Murder, corruption, and exotic locations – a thrilling read that will get you thinking.”

“The second Fabien Bartholdi novel by Alexander Logan features the same vividly evoked settings, mostly in the south of France, and complex characters whose motivations shift as the situations and relationships develop. The plot is intriguing, the end unpredictable.”
