Critics Review
‘Furst’s intelligent thriller, reeking with the doomed atmosphere of pre-war Polan…bristles with tension’

’[Furst’s] stories combine keen deductive precision with much deeper, more turbulent and impassioned aspects of character…Mr. Furst…is an incomparable expert at this game.’ - New York Times.‘Furst’s tales…are infused with the melancholy romanticism of Casablanca, and also a touch of Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon.’ - Scotsman.‘Throughout, the author’s delight in the process of espionage shines through.’ - TLS.About The Author
