Praise for Stephen Leather Stephen Leather writes really exciting action thrillers. It's like being there yourself -- Chris Ryan, author of Zero 22 The fast-paced action scenes are expertly choreographed; the description of settings - from the luxurious bars where Ankara's gangsters gather, to Dubai's glittering skyscrapers - is brisk and richly detailed. Leather knows the inner workings of the security services. But beyond the enthralling storyline he also asks some tough questions about contemporary Britain - without preaching. * Financial Times *More details
