Critics Review

The Swiss Account is an absolute gem.” – Joseph Di Prisco, author of The Good Family Fitzgerald, and Chairman of the New Literary Project“With the storytelling verve of classic Le Carré and the emotional precision of Roth or Tyler, The Swiss Account unfolds like a velvet-gloed indictment of privilege, secrecy, and legacy.
