"'A compelling and..suspenseful narrative...Weiser's multilayered approach enables him to brighten and humanize the furtive world of espionage...Indeed, the longer Weiser lingers over the subtleties and quirks of Kuklinski's personality, the more intriguing an individual emerges'. Times Literary Supplement"
