ReviewsPraise for Thomas Perry "Thomas Perry is, quite simply, brilliant. And as each book comes out he becomes more so."--Robert B. Parker "Nobody writes thrillers like Thomas Perry . . . His books are unpredictable, action-packed, and fueled by a cynical wit and observant eye for detail."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Perry is so skillful with the old chase-and-pursuit routine, creates such interesting characters, and writes about them so tellingly, one wants more immediately, not next year--right now."-- Boston Globe, "Deuker...crafts a suspenseful and involving story that tackles timely issues of terrorism, patriotism, poverty, and privilege."
