'A refreshingly straightforward conspiracy thriller. This is a tense game of cat and mouse that begins on the fringes of power but soon reveals dark doings at the heart of Washington's political circus ... A fast-paced adventure ... Quirk knows how to set the stage and the novel is exciting' * Crime Time * 'Baldacci territory, but done with a refreshing vigour by the California-based Quirk who is making a name for himself as a thriller writer to watch' * Daily Mail * 'Quirk has earned his spot in the front ranks of thriller writers. Opens with a bang and keeps exploding for three hundred pages' -- David Baldacci 'Breathless stay-up-late suspense' -- Lee Child 'A plot that twists like a cobra in a sack, a whip-crack pace and engaging characters make The Night Agenta very classy thriller' * Financial Times *
