Praise for Gerald SeymourYou don't read Gerald Seymour, you commit to it totally. His stories have amazing detail, yet you still fly through them. And your effort is well rewarded * Sun *
Seymour orchestrates the build-up to his denouement as masterfully as Merrick co-ordinates his Spanish sting * The Sunday Times on In At The Kill *
As ever, the great strength of Seymour's writing lies in his depiction of the poor bloody infantry of crime and policing * The Times *
Seymour's portrayal of the city's crime dynasty, and its inner rivalries and tensions, is masterful * Financial Times *
Seymour's finger is always on the current socio-political pulse, and the new book is a welcome return for his curmudgeonly MI5 man Jonas Merrick * i news *
Even after thirty-seven novels [Seymour] has lost none of his talent for thrilling plots and creating credible and sympathetic characters, nor his journalist's eye for modern espionage tradecraft and techniques * Shots Magazine *
There are strong echoes of George Smiley in Merrick's mild and unprepossessing manner, which disguises a razor-sharp brain and considerable courage when necessary * Financial Times *
Supreme spy writer * Peterborough Telegraph *
[Charles] Cumming is perhaps matched only by Gerald Seymour now when it comes to recounting field operations * Sunday Times *
'Impeccably plotted, and again shows that he's the master of the multistranded ensemble thriller in which each character's world is enthrallingly realised' * The Sunday Times *
Seymour, who redefined the modern thriller 50 years ago with Harry's Game, still hits the target with this
vivid, pacy, addictive story
