Praise for Mick Herron
"Confirms Mick Herron as the best spy novelist now working."
–NPR's Fresh Air "Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way."
–The New York Times Book Review "Compulsively readable, tightly plotted."
–Los Angeles Times "Suspense, spycraft, dry wit and vulgar humor are all well-deployed in this satisfying work by Mr. Herron, whose style can accommodate everything from a tough action scene to a lyrical elegy."
–The Wall Street Journal "Herron writes squeakingly well-plotted spy thrillers. More than that, he composes–at the rate of a pulpist–the kind of efficient, darkly witty, tipped-with-imagery sentences that feel purpose-built to perforate my private daze of illiteracy."
–The Atlantic
"The best in a generation, by some estimations, and irrefutably the funniest."
–Jill Lepore, The New Yorker
