Media Reviews
A genuine talent... the action scenes are strong * Sunday Times *
Heart-pumping adventure * USA Today *
A smart, economically written spy novel * New York Times *
Pulse-pounding... The author's plausible scenario distinguishes this from most spy thrillers * Publishers Weekly *
Terrific and relentless suspense and action * Kirkus Reviews *
A fast-paced story of international intrigue and espionage ... John Wells is a fine character who will likely propel Berenson's thrillers to success for some time to come * Chicago Sun Times *
Berenson, winner of the 2007 Edgar Award for his first novel, The Faithful Spy, proves his debut was no fluke with this stellar sequel... The authenticity Berenson brings to his ripped-from-the-headlines stories makes them seem as vividly real and scary as nonfiction or the nightly news * Booklist *
