“[A] series of thought-provoking geopolitical thrillers…. Mr. Lebor writes with perception about the gray ethical area in which Azoulay must maneuver…and succeeds in making us care about his two-fisted protagonist and her all-too-human vulnerability.” — Wall Street Journal
“Highly recommended. Adam LeBor’s new novel, The Washington Stratagem is rich and fast-paced, but it is his very sure and experienced hand with international politics, dark-side politics, that makes this book as good as it is.” — Alan Furst
“A smart heroine, unexpected twists, and an intriguing setting separate The Washington Stratagem from the pack of international thrillers.” — Alex Berenson, New York Times bestselling author of the John Wells series
“Who knew the United Nations could be so exciting? Murder, intrigue and a beguiling protagonist make Adam LeBor’s international thriller The Washington Stratagem a gripping and enticing read.” — The Guardian US, “The Books We Enjoyed Most in 2014”
“In LeBor’s solid sequel to 2013’s The Geneva Option…tension rises as the political infighting, personal betrayals, and overt attacks result in… [Yael Azoulay] becoming a fugitive wanted for murder.” — Publishers Weekly
