The NYT reviewer was speaking of me when he wrote "Some readers may find that Kanon’s thriller-ish style takes some getting used to, especially his telegrammatic dialogue reduced. To such. Staccato bursts that. It risks becoming. Unintelligible." However, I did like this story; it was fast paced and a quick read even though a bit confusing as I tried to figure out who worked for whom...but I guess that's par for the course with suspense fiction.

Entertaining and philosophical, paints a picture of what it might have been like then but the mystery part of it was a little disappointing. Leads seemed to come out of nowhere by chance rather than cleverly leading from one to the next.

Joseph Kanon continues to write excellent cold war fiction; this is another fine example.
