Recenzii

'The action is vividly drawn with enough technical detail to add veracity, but never enough to swamp the narrative.' -- www.reviewingtheevidence.com Praise for Stephen Leather's novels -- : 'This is an aggressively topical novel but a genuinely thrilling one, too.' -- Daily Telegraph 'As tough as British thrillers get ... gripping' -- Irish Independent 'In brisk newsman's style he explores complex contemporary issues while keeping the action fast and bloody.' -- Economist
