Book Log 2008 #25: The Big Killing by Robert Wilson
The second book in the Bruce Medway series, this time the action revolves around a series of apparently tribal killings that are in some way related to the Liberian civil war and the diamond trade. Medway gets pulled in when he picks up two jobs: one to act as courier for a mysterious videotape, the other to babysit a prospective diamond trader.
I didn't think this was as good as the first book in the series, as the writing at times tries to hard to deliver the noirish quality with which the first book was often credited. The supporting cast from the first book is much less in evidence in the second, which is also to the book's detriment.
That being said, it's still a quality mystery and worth the read.
