The Shadow Walker by Michael Walters is a murder mystery set in Mongolia. It is a good read, with well developed and likable characters, a diabolical serial killer, mutilations, political intrigue, and a moon-like setting.
Over the past few months I have been to North Korea, Laos, Thailand, Sweden, France, Italy, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Japan, France, and who knows where, following some of the best mystery writing being done. Michael Walters is a Brit with roots in oil, broadcasting, and banking and he has written a convincing story that left me wanting more. The main character, Nergui is the former head of the Serious Crimes Team promoted into a position with National Security. Nergui teams up with Drew McLeish from England who is sent to help investigate the murder of a British National. A fast-paced investigation covers some interesting territory in this mostly unknown (to me) Asian country.
