Reviews
As soon as I started reading, I knew I had chanced upon something very special. I was completely hooked by a book which is a comedy, a spy story, and a riveting piece of historical investigation that seamlessly integrates these genres... A book that readers will race through but never forget' -- Misha Glenny
