The Tropic of Night starts off with a bang as Jane Doe, an anthropologist, kills a woman and rescues an abused child, who she then raises as her own. The story moves all over the globe from Miami to New York to Africa. She marries a poet and playwright. When she goes with her husband to Nigeria, whe...
If it was possible to give this novel six stars, then I’d be adding seven.Told from the point of view of three main characters: Theo the “Good Son”, Sonia his mother, and Cynthia an NSA translator. Michael Gruber explores the nature of the USA security bureaucracy, the “war” on terrorism, Pashtun cu...
It's usually a red flag for me when I immediately picture actors while I'm reading a book. It often means that what the author has given us is something derivative of other novels or movies or TV shows. And yes, that is pretty much what Gruber gives us...and it is magnificent. Richard Marder is ...

The third of the series of Jimmy Paz novels, and as the other two, one of my favorites, a thriller, a mystery, a police procedural, a wonderful introduction to the culture and place of South Florida, plus a primer on anthropology, and the culture of the primitive but in many ways very sophisticated ...
Every Gruber novel is more than it might at first seem, and this one fits the mold again. If you want thrilling action it is here, if you want a remarkable in-depth introduction to other cultures you will find it here, and if you want to find yourself thinking more than you would ever expect about ...
One of my favorites, a thriller, a mystery, a police procedural, a wonderful introduction to the culture and place of South Florida, plus a primer on anthropology.
