Reviews

[Anthony Weir · Rating 4 out of 5]

Despite the appallingly lurid cover, and the pulp-fiction reputation of the author, this well-written thriller is a very readable and well-researched venture into Le Carré territory.
Of course, being an American book, there are the required sex-scenes - but they are easily skipped.
