A provocative and timely novel exploring the notion of Russian influence in the US's corridors of power (The Guardian)
Matthews beguilingly blends the fun and sexiness of Ian Fleming with the more procedural, information-rich approach of John le Carre and Frederick Forsyth (The Sunday Times)
Matthews spins a mighty operational web replete with exacting tradecraft. His descriptive precision is breathtaking; the sparring between his vividly realized characters is devilishly clever. With nail-biting suspense, scorching eroticism, dark wit, lashing contempt for politicians dismissive of intelligence work, and fury over Russia's disinformation campaigns, this is a riveting and knowing dramatization of today's clandestine geopolitical conflicts (Booklist)
A stellar conclusion... races to a heart-pounding and unexpected resolution. (Publishers Weekly)
