Review
'A topical and terrible story ... he can communicate emotion, from sweating fear to despairing love, with terse and compassionate conviction. Above all, he can tell a tale. Formidable equipment for a rare and disturbing writer' -- Sunday Times 'Superbly constructed, with an atmosphere of chilly hell' -- Daphne du Maurier 'The best spy story I have ever read' -- Graham Greene
