Moscow X

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'As gripping as its predecessor ... Complex yet satisfyingly vicious, especially so once Max and Sia in turn enter Russia, Moscow X is a tense, all too plausible depiction of the struggle for power within a corrupt regime' - The Times, Book of the Month 'A gripping depiction of the struggle for power within a corrupt regime' - Sunday Times, Best Summer Reads 'The spy thriller has a champion who can peek behind the curtain' The Times 'An informed, gripping tale' - Financial Times, Best Books of 2024 'McCloskey shows all the talents that brought so much acclaim for his debut, Damascus Station, and takes us inside the inner workings of the CIA, where he once worked as an analyst ... It's the cast of layered, complex characters that makes Moscow X such a gripping read - one often leavened with dry, poetic wit' - Adam LeBor, Financial Times 'McCloskey is the most thoroughly convincing spy novelist to have emerged in the last decade' - Mail on Sunday 'Thrilling, propulsive and terrifying ... unputdownably superb' - Simon Sebag Montefiore Praise for Damascus Station:


'Simply marvellous storytelling...a stand-out thriller and essential reading for fans of the genre' - Financial Times


'The best spy novel I have ever read' - General David Petraeus, former director of the CIA


'For an authentic representation of what it's like to work in intelligence, look no further than Damascus Station. McCloskey has captured it all: the breathtaking close calls, the hand in glove of tech and ops, the heartbreaking disappointments, the thrill of a hard-won victory' - Alma Katsu, author of Red Widow and former CIA and NSA analyst
