When vigilante justice-seeker Claymore Straker is witness to the
murders of a family he has befriended, and his lover's husband and
son disappear, his investigations take him to the darkest places he
could ever have imagined ... The stunning fourth instalment in the
critically acclaimed Claymore Straker series. 'A stormer of a
thriller - vividly written, utterly tropical, totally gripping'
Peter James 'A fast-paced action thriller, beautifully written' Tim
Marshall, author of Prisoners of Geography 'Hardisty is a fine
writer and Straker is a great lead character' Lee Child
_____________________ It's 1997, and eight months since vigilante
justice-seeker Claymore Straker fled South Africa after his
explosive testimony to Desmond Tutu's Truth and Reconciliation
Commission. In Paris, Rania LaTour, Claymore's former lover, comes
home to find that her son and her husband, a celebrated human
rights lawyer, have disappeared. On an isolated island off the
coast of East Africa, the family that Clay has befriended is
murdered as he watches. So begins the fourth instalment in the
Claymore Straker series, a breakneck journey through the darkest
reaches of the human soul, as Clay and Rania fight to uncover the
mystery behind the disappearances and murders, and find those
responsible. At times brutal, often lyrical, but always gripping,
Absolution is a thriller that will leave you breathless and
questioning the very basis of how we live and why we love.

alive on the page...' Literary Review 'Gripping and exciting ...
the quality of Hardisty's writing and the underlying truth of his
plots sets this above many other thrillers' West Australian
'Searing ... at times achieves the level of genuine poetry'

heart-stoppingly tense and unusually moving' Paul Johnston 'The
plot burns through petrol, with multiple twists and turns' Vicky
