Praise for Mick Herron
“Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Delightful . . . with a dry humor reminiscent of Greene and
Waugh.”
—The Sunday Times, Best Thrillers and Crime Novels of the Past
5 Years
“[A] wickedly clever send-up of the classic British spy novel.”
─Crime Writers' Association
“Masterful . . . Superior entertainment that makes most other
novels of suspense appear dull and slow-witted by comparison.”
─Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Herron’s remarkable novel has enough suspense, action, and
deductive dazzlement to keep genre fans happy. But be warned: these
are deep waters, and this is not nodding-off, night-table
reading."
─Booklist, Starred Review
