A thriller that from time to time reminded me of the best of early Jeffrey Archer, though Palmer's style is more subtle and he is better at dialogue. . There are some genuinely clever twists . . .the story is skilfully plotted, and he is excellent on physical description - Nicholas Coleridge in the Mail on SundayA Grisham thriller for the political classes. . . The plotting is tight and the action scenes exciting . . . Palmer is a writer we will surely be hearing more of soon' - Express on SundayPacked with lavish helpings of intrigue and double dealing . . . Palmer's meticulously researched portrait of Washington reeks accuracy from every page. . . If you love the politics but can't stand the humidity of Washington DC, Palmer's new novel is the next best thing to being there - Daily Mail
