Product Information
'An interesting, unexpected thriller, this tries - and succeeds - to mix romance with the dark arts of espionage ... Written with a flair for place and irony, it paints a very different portrait of the macho world of spooks than the one we're so often treated to, but is none the worse for that. Blessed with an edge-of-the-seat ending, Jenoff's third thriller is the antidote to Bond, leaving you stirred, if not shaken' Daily Mail 'Pam Jenoff has taken a new twist on the spy novel ... if agent Jordan Weiss may not be exactly the next James Bond, ... she may be a very credible, arguably more human, female alternative' The Times 'Part thriller, part romance, Jenoff's story is a tidy package of secret financing, organised crime and a bit of stuff on the side' Time Out 'A thrilling story, imaginatively told' Choice '...a masterly job of blending romance, friendship, loyalty, greed, spies, the political ambitions of the rich and powerful, and a bit of shady World War II history into a suspenseful and multilayered novel' LIBRARY JOURNAL 'A cool, contemporary romantic thriller' PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY 'This thriller delivers politics and plot' KIRKUS REVIEWS
