Reviews"A ferociously cool fable." -- New York Times "An emphatic and successful performance." -- San Francisco Chronicle "A most impressive book in which the tension, more like a chronic ache than a sharp stab of pain, never lets go." -- Evening Standard "A super-duper, dazzling display of intelligence agents at work . . . sparkling with bright wit and satirical and sardonic humor . . . a slam-bang of a novel, and the only one we can guarantee won't be double-crossed is the reader!" -- Hartford Courant
