The Tunnel Rats

‘One of his best … ingenious … the tension is continuous, increasing in a crescendo as the tale reaches its conclusion’ – Oxford Times ‘Stephen Leather should be nestling in your bookshelves alongside Frederick Forsyth and Jack Higgins … authentic … exciting stuff with plenty of heart palpitating action gingered up by mystery and intrigue … Leather is an intelligent thriller writer’ – Daily Mail ‘A well-constructed and fast-moving plot … stunning … another top-notch thriller’ – Yorkshire Evening Post ‘A well-written thriller - a powerful tale of cover-ups, deceit, revenge, intense claustrophobia and deadly intent’ – Birmingham Evening Mail ‘Leather has a gift for making pages fly by as bodies pile up, tension builds and clues drop parsimoniously; effective, economical characterizations give the plot just enough depth to captivate readers without hampering the rapid-fire narrative.’ – Publishers Weekly on THE TUNNEL RATS
