Second Violin Bewertungen

'Lawton's writing is hypnotic...he deserves to be ranked with the best' Birmingham Post. 'Unputdownable narrative of spying, sexual intrigue, political scandal and murder...a haunting novel, transcending the bounds of genre fiction' A.N. Wilson, Daily Telegraph. 'Flawlessly recreates the tensions of a society, teetering on the brink of a social and sexual revolution. Lawton's trick is to take the threads of history and weave them into his own tapestry' The Times.
