“A novel that gives paranoia a new name, Kanon's latest in a brilliant collection may be his most tightly rendered. The suspense builds quietly, almost stealthily, before tightening its grip.
Another super sophisticated spy thriller from a ranking master.”

“Riveting…genuine suspense, including an exciting variation on the border-crossing theme, combine beautifully with moving psychological drama.”

“A master stylist of concise yet eloquent writing, Kanon recreates the corrupt atmosphere of East Berlin in 1963, to riveting effect…Kanon’s books are a gold mine for lovers of espionage…Fans of Alan Furst and John le Carré will include Kanon as the third member of a Cold War troika.”

—Library Journal
