Critics Review

Gerald Seymour has created the most memorable hero of his long career * Times *PRAISE FOR GERALD SEYMOUR:You don’t read Gerald Seymour, you commit to it totally. His stories have amazing detail, yet you still fly through them. And your effort is well rewarded * Sun *There are strong echoes of George Smiley in Merrick’s mild and unprepossessing manner, which disguises a razor-sharp brain and considerable courage when necessary * Financial Times *The great strength of Seymour’s writing lies in his depiction of the poor bloody infantry of crime and policing * Times *Seymour’s finger is always on the current socio-political pulse * i News *[Seymour] has lost none of his talent for thrilling plots and creating credible and sympathetic characters, nor his journalist’s eye for modern espionage tradecraft and techniques * Shots Magazine *Supreme spy writer * Peterborough Telegraph *[Charles] Cumming is perhaps matched only by Gerald Seymour now when it comes to recounting field operations * Sunday Times *
