What amazes me most about Forsyth, is the quantum of factual information that he stuffs into his fiction and the manner in which he so neatly packages it. Although it does get like reading an investigative magazine article at times, Forsyth hardly...” see full review » see other reviews » |

“My mother handed me this book when I was about 12 when she got tired of my badgering her for something to read. I loved it at 12 and loved it more when I reread it in my 40's. Wonderful thriller without the techno.”

“Would have gobbled it up furiously probably 5 years ago, but at 24 spy novels no longer seem to have that charm over me. Especially ones that have minimal amount of direct speech. Although credit needs to be given to Forsyth for managing to sustain interest in spite of revealing/knowing the outcome of final chapter. Based almost entirely in France, the book did give me a lot of information about the police, crime, espionage and military branches of France and I never really noticed where fact takes a hike and fiction slides in.

Packed, almost ridiculously with details, I think the 350 odd pages book never lets you build a personal relationship with any of the characters.
Definitely my last Forsyth novel.”
