Review:
Very good... This novel outclasses the thriller genre (Financial Times)
Hyper-suspenseful... Not to be missed' (Guardian)
Superior quality... Taps more than just adrenalin (Observer)
Tension alone would make The Contract an unusually satisfying thriller. In addition it has characters simply but deftly drawn... The writing is crisp and confident (Sunday Independent)
