Review:
"An intriguing story, well told."---"Literary Review"
"An elegant political thriller written with style and skill."---"Daily Mail"
"A stirring successor to Frederick Forsyth...a superlative thriller."---"The Independent"
""Fear Itself" has very much the feel of a film noir, with plenty of post-Depression grit, intrigue, FBI politics, scheming socialites, eleventh-hour escapes, red herrings, dubious characters, and a general sense that nobody can be trusted. And if Nessheim is clueless at crucial times, if coincidences tend to happen, if a few threads are left hanging--still the vividly detailed setting, a tight pace, and well-researched glimpses of Hoover and William Stephenson provide an atmospheric and entertaining read."----Historical Novel Society
"[A] top-notch historical thriller...this intelligent page-turner will only whet reader's appetites for more."--"Publishers Weekly" (starred review)
