A Masterpiece of Spy fiction.
Enthralling from first to last page with superb characterisation throughout especially 'Big Herbie Kruger'. The tension is palpable and mounts as you flick the page. There are more than enough surprises and twists along the way for my ageing brain to comprehend.
Absolute quality cannot wait for book three.
