Critics Review

An excellent, uncompromising crime thriller made even better by its setting … the story is two journeys in one, and I’m glad I took both

A jaw-droppingly brilliant crime thriller. Imagine The Killing moved to Cape Town and into the landscape of the hot and dusty African veld

When Paul Mendelson, author of a string of successful high-stakes poker manuals, turned to crime writing a few years ago he brought all of the adrenaline fuelled drama of no-limit Texas Hold’em to the printed page … Gripping and chillingly authentic - Irish Independent

The First Rule of Survival is an incredibly atmospheric, complex and dazzling debut from a thrilling and authentic new voice in crime fiction

An impressive debut - The Times on The First Rule of Survival

Mendelson plots so smoothly and writes so powerfully - The Guardian

The History of Blood is thoughtful and thrilling in equal parts - The Mail on Sunday
