Meticulously plotted, with wonderfully drawn characters and an elegant prose style that makes this every bit as compelling as Searle’s stirring debut * Daily Mail on ‘The Good Liar’ *
A thought-provoking read that bursts with tension * Financial Times *
A spy thriller with extra authority * Jonathan Freedland, Guardian *
Former intelligence officer turned crime writer Searle is stepping into the gap left by John le Carré * Metro *
