Recenzje

Compulsively readable... rich in history and intrigue, love and death. Bold, inventive and wholly successful... Wilson unmistakably delivers the goods.' Literary Review

'This is vintage suspense writing; sharp, cold, mean and funny.' Alan Furst

'A gripping and absorbing drama that spans Europe from wartime Berlin to contemporary Lisbon.' Val McDermid

'A class act...For once a novelist influenced by Raymond Chandler is not shown up by the comparison.' Sunday Times
