Review:
It goes without saying that Fesperman is a master of orchestrating tension - but he is equally good at characterising his vulnerable, conflicted protagonists (Daily Express on THE AMATEUR SPY)
A superb spy thriller worthy of sharing shelf space with the novels of John le Carré and Ken Follett...darkly imaginative...draws a dramatic portrait (USA Today on THE PRISONER OF GUANTANAMO)
A terrific novel of intrigue, duplicity and death in the shadow of the Khyber Pass...Fesperman is that rare journalist who is also a gifted novelist...first-rate (Washington Post on THE WARLORD'S SON)
An absorbing novel with some provocative commentary on America's war on terror (Susannah Yager, Sunday Telegraph on THE PRISONER OF GUANTANAMO)
Fesperman is the closest thing America has to John le Carré, a writer of great elegance and sophistication whose novels are as topical as they are compelling. In a market saturated by factory-made thrillers, Fesperman stands out as a spy novelist of the highest quality. (Charles Cumming)

Fesperman is the American John le Carré - he writes classy, exciting thrillers with taut plotting and a lot of heart.
