“A superb and exciting spy thriller that is solid with verisimilitude and precision throughout. . . . I can only recommend that readers grab the first three books as well. Dark Spies is that good. It’s rare that a thriller has both depth of characterizations and locales, accuracy with weapons and other paraphernalia, and at the same time is a terrific, intense read that never lags in pacing or rhythm. . . . Dark Spies is one of the finest modern spy thrillers I’ve ever read. Don’t let this one get away from you.” - OverMyDeadBody.com on Dark Spies

“Dunn’s exciting fourth Spycatcher novel finds Will Cochrane, the extraordinary agent who serves both the CIA and MI6, in the Norwegian Arctic… Cochrane’s few allies are almost helpless as he treks back from Norway to Washington, D.C., against incredible odds and obstacles… Great action sequences and a clever if complicated plot make this a satisfying read.” - Publishers Weekly
“Cochrane is from the breed of highly trained heroes who is just that much better at shooting and hiding and strategizing than anyone else... He has a series of narrow and harrowing escapes in which other people are killed or injured, but he is able to go on. People from his past help him to cross oceans and borders and reach his ultimate goal of confronting the people who are not who they appear to be. Some of those who help him meet horrifying deaths, and since his face is everywhere in the media, danger is at every turn. There are many unforeseen twists in the tale and we are as surprised as Cochrane to discover who is really behind the acts of sabotage and treason… Cochrane’s situation and his quest for the truth provide an exciting read that is solidly grounded in the real world.” - ReviewingTheEvidence.com

“Move over, James Bond, Alex Hawke [and] Mitch Rapp . . . Matthew Dunn has come in from the cold with big guns, a killer attitude and realism that other writers only dream about.” - Clarion-Ledger on Slingshot
“Terse conversations infused with subtle power plays, brutal encounters among allies with competing agendas, and forays into hostile territory orchestrated for clockwork efficiency but vulnerable to deadly missteps . . . . Cochrane’s past haunts and complicates the unfolding action—particularly the murder of his father, himself a British agent . . . . A stylish and assured debut.” - Washington Post on Spycatcher

“An in Spycatcher, Dunn’s action scenes are vividly drawn. Lovers of derring-do will love this series.” - Booklist on Sentinel
“Dunn delivers insights into a world most of us will never experience—except between the covers of a book, or maybe someday in a movie as good as the best of the Bond and Bourne sagas.” - Oakland Tribune on Sentinel
“Dunn’s exuberant, bullet-drenched prose, with its descriptions of intelligence tradecraft and modern anti-terrorism campaigns, bristles with authenticity. . . . True to form, Cochrane is riven with demons. A graduate of Cambridge University, he is feared by friend and foe alike, [and] burdened with more angst and less panache than James Bond. . . .Save for works by Alan Furst, good thrillers have been thin on the ground of late. Mr. Dunn has redressed this balance with an altogether gripping book.” - The Economist on Slingshot
