Review:
Here's a thriller that provides plenty of exercise for the brain as well as the viscera, as Ignatius ingeniously explores what happens when a reporter crosses the line between information and covert action. Looking into the secret life of a respected colleague, hotshot journalist Eric Truell finds a much better story than he expected--and a huge moral dilemma, which gets bigger the more he digs. Ignatius's equally smart and exciting The Bank of Fear is available in paperback.

"What is so admirable about David Ignatius's novels of espionage is not merely the exquisite intrigue, the gnawing suspense, or the compelling characterizations, but the fact that these books are completely original."
