Don’t start it unless you have time to finish.” - Noah Boyd, author of Agent X and The Bricklayer
“Once in a while an espionage novelist comes along who has the smack of utter authenticity. Few are as daring as Matthew Dunn, fewer still as up-to-date.

“One cold night a month back, I settled down with this and found the writing intriguingly brusque and elliptical and the cat-and-mouse game a real surprise.

“Great talent, great imagination, and real been-there, done-that authenticity. . . Highly recommended.” - Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of The Affair
