That may have been a misleading recommendation because Smith doesn't write crime novels, though there is certainly enough murder and mayhem going on in his books. He writes epic adventures, mostly based in South Africa. Two of his series, one based in Egypt (RiverGod and Seventh Scroll) and one on pirates (Birds of Prey, Monsoon), were terrific. He and Connelly are the only two authors I buy in hardcover. Can't wait for Connelly's new book coming out in two weeks. I've already pre-ordered it.
