A Flavour of the Book: “In the chaos, ceilings fall, floors turn to flame, walls crumble. People are screaming, trapped in the raging heat. Fire: the element of sudden change, sign of the dragon, bringer of death I race through the city with the mob. From house to house we run with fire in our hands, selecting targets and delivering them to hell. On victim-doors I see the mark: the accursed triangle of dots…”
The Authortrek View: This
is a fascinating novel by David Green, a far more intelligent thriller than The
Da Vinci Code, although more or less in the same frame, with a
concentration on music rather than art.
The way that David Green writes about music is very compelling. However, his main character, Sebastian,
isn’t all that compelling in himself, which is probably just as well given the
resolution… The novel really kicks off though, when we find out more about the
mysterious brotherhood, and a certain figure calls Pythagoras comes into the
frame… Pythagoras, and the
contested stories around him, is so fascinating that you can’t help but wonder
why no writer has utilized him in a thriller before. David Green doesn’t hit all the right notes in Music of
Maninjau, but he certainly knows how to build up to a killer crescendo…
