PRAISE FOR JOSEPH KANON: ​ ' Joseph Kanon owns this corner of the literary landscape and it’s a joy to see him reassert his title with such emphatic authority' Lee Child ' Clever, devious and morally complex' Sunday Times ' Sensational! No one writes period fiction with the same style and suspense – not to mention substance – as Joseph Kanon' Scott Turow 'Kanon is fast approaching the complexity and relevance not just of le Carré and Greene but even of Orwell' New York Times 'The perfect combination of intrigue and accurate history brought to life' Alan Furst 'Joseph Kanon continues to demonstrate that he is up there with the very best . . . of spy thriller writers . . . Kanon writes beautifully, superbly . . . he is the master of the shadows of the era' The Times 'The critical stock of Joseph Kanon is high, and Defectors will add further lustre to his reputation . . . There are pleasing echoes here of the “entertainments” of Graham Greene' Guardian
