The king of the page-turning thriller. * i paper * An immersive thriller set against a tense historical backdrop[...]V2, like Munich is therefore more drama than thriller. For all its pace - you will zip through it in no time - the rewards are in the meta-story. But Harris's deceptively effortless prose means you barely notice. The effect is one of total immersion: you can feel the cold, taste the bacon sandwiches and imagine the trolleys squeaking across the floor. * Financial Times *
