"Praise for Mick Herron “Confirms Mick Herron as the best spy novelist now working.” —NPR’s Fresh Air “Mick Herron never tells a suspense story in the expected way.” —The New York Times Book Review “Compulsively readable, tightly plotted.” —Los Angeles Times “Suspense, spycraft, dry wit and vulgar humor are all well-deployed in this satisfying work by Mr. Herron, whose style can accommodate everything from a tough action scene to a lyrical elegy.” —The Wall Street Journal “Herron writes squeakingly well-plotted spy thrillers. More than that, he composes—at the rate of a pulpist—the kind of efficient, darkly witty, tipped-with-imagery sentences that feel purpose-built to perforate my private daze of illiteracy.” —The Atlantic ""The best in a generation, by some estimations, and irrefutably the funniest."" —Jill Lepore, The New Yorker"
