Publisher's Summary

Eighteen years after the barbarous war with the Serbs that tore their communities apart, a group of Croatian villagers discover the identity of the Englishman who they believe betrayed them by reneging on a deal to supply arms. With revenge in sight at last, they hire a professional killer from London to track him down... but is the story as simple as they think?

Critic Reviews

"A war crime propels this stellar thriller from Edgar-finalist Seymour…. How Seymour develops these characters and manipulates them until they all end up in Vukovar is a testament to his talent and skill." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Seymour loves detail, and The Dealer and the Dead serves it up brilliantly…. [The Bosnian conflict] continues to spur headlines and to provide potent plotlines for novelists. It’s fitting that Seymour, one of the finest contemporary espionage novelists, shines his unique light on it." ( Booklist)
"Crisp, taut and contemporary, by a stylish writer." ( The Observer UK)

Good story but:

The story went a bit bullet point at times starting with the word “The”
Maybe it had to jumping from character to character (but hey I’m just a builder not a literary critic) I enjoyed the arms trade argument. I persisted and was rewarded in the end.
