Rezensionen / Stimmen
'QR Markham's ASSASSIN OF SECRETS is an instant classic. Precise, cool, and enormously entertaining, it takes on the greatest spy thrillers of the Cold War and doesn't just hold its own, but wins. I loved every word of it.' -- Jeremy Duns, author of Free Agent 'Hardcore, old school spy fiction for a generation raised on ass-kicking Bourne flicks. Q.R. Markham's thrilling debut is just like his spy hero: ambitious and audacious.' -- Duane Swierczynski 'A dazzling, deftly controlled debut that moves through familiar territory with wry sophistication.' -- Kirkus Review *starred
