| Watch this rather bloody space... Hornets' Nest demonstrates that Edyr Augusto is THE Brazilian writer to follow. This thriller not only packs a knockout punch, it is a mini-masterpiece of modern writing that can be compared in the economy of its style, scalding dialogue and gritty cinematic realism directly with the work of Elmore Leonard, with whom Augusto has been compared. This book quite simply knocks you off your chair. If you dare to get up, dust yourself off and start reading again - you do so at your own risk. |
