Reviews

[Jack Heath]

Synopsis: secret papers arrive anonymously at the White House. The result? All hell breaks loose. David Belknap tries to find the leak.

[David Meeson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Picked this up as a ‘random’ 1€ book from the shelf outside Shakespeare & Co. Swervy spy story set in the Cold War. Decent action but sometimes felt like it struggled under the weight of its own cleverness.

[Matthew Palmer · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting read. It started off good, then slowed down throughout the middle, before getting good again towards the end.
