‘Charles Cumming’s The Man Between continues the author’s steady upwards trajectory; he will soon be snapping at the heels of such masters as John le Carré and Gerald Seymour’ Guardian
‘I have been a fan of Charles Cumming ever since A Spy by Nature, and The Man Between is up there with the best – full of thrills, wit and fine writing, with a plot and themes that might have been taken from today’s headlines. Writer/spy Kit Carradine is a thoroughly engaging protagonist, and I look forward to meeting him again. Superb espionage fiction’ Peter Robinson
