Even better thanChild 44

Acompulsiveandsupremely intelligent thrillerfrom a master stylist
A first-rate thriller-Moskvagrips from the very first page. Heartily recommended
Hard to know what to praise first here: the operatic sweep of thismesmerisingnovel; the surefooted orchestration oftension; or thevividly realisedsense of time and place; all of these factors mark Jack Grimwood'sMoskvaout assomething special in the arena of international thrillers

A sublime writer. . . I felt glimmers ofLe Carréshining through the prose.
