Crisp, taut and contemporary, by a stylish writer. - Rachel Redford, the Observer

‘Discerning thriller readers can safely say that the best practitioner currently working in the UK is the veteran Seymour. He is, quite simply, the most intelligent and accomplished in the current field … Here, we have a typically compromised Seymour anti-hero, a masterfully organised globe-spanning narrative and a mass of highly persuasive detail. The Dealer and the Dead is Seymour firing on all cylinders, and his rivals need, once again, to look to their laurels. - Barry Forshaw

With Seymour, not only do you get a cracking story deftly gold, but you also feel you are learning something. - Birmingham Press
