‘Pantheon is a propulsive, satisfying novel which burns with moral indignation, earning Bourne his place at the thriller-writers' high table’ Guardian
‘Ingeniously constructed ... a page-turner which maintains the tension’ Observer
‘An intelligent thriller with a vividly drawn wartime atmosphere’ Independent
