Summary and Reviews of The Month of The Leopard by James Harland

Media Reviews

Coventry Evening Telegraph (UK) The Month of the Leopard is a modern thriller, with all the suspense of a John Buchan or John Le Carre yarn. If you like an old-fashioned thriller, Ian Fleming's original James Bond books and are intrigued by global finance and changes in the former USSR, then this is for you.

Daily Mail (UK) An excellent thriller.

London Financial News (UK) Harland has pulled off a rare treat - a story about the financial markets that is, for once, riveting and filled with characters that are instantly recognisable.

Newcastle Journal (UK) In The Month Of The Leopard, the chief villain of the piece is Jean-Pierre Telmont, a cold, ruthlessly calculating financial kingpin with a serious Napoleon complex and a mission to collapse the economies of Eastern Europe by rigging the markets. He is a superbly drawn villain.

Sunday Business A fabulous novel about a financial trader searching for his missing wife and uncovering mysterious secrets about her along the way.

The Observer A cracking good read. James Harland is obviously set to take the world of literature by storm.

Kirkus Reviews Tension, pitifully lacking in the first two thirds of this grand adventure for MBAs, finally arrives, but nonbankers will probably have bailed out by then.

Publishers Weekly Flat characterizations, gratuitous violence, unconvincing motivation for Telmont and a too-hasty denouement. But the book is a page-turner for anyone interested in high-stakes financial shenanigans.
