“Stunning…It has become de rigeur to compare Steinhauer to le Carré, but it's nearly time to pass the torch: for the next generation, it's Steinhauer who will become the standard by which others are measured.” —Booklist (starred) on The Cairo Affair

“Elaborate, sophisticated…A long, twisty road full of cleverly placed potholes and unexpected turns…Mr. Steinhauer draws his spies as flesh-and-blood characters.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times, on The Cairo Affair

“Not since le Carré has a writer so vividly evoked the multilayered, multifaceted, deeply paranoid world of espionage, in which identities and allegiances are malleable and ever shifting, the mirrors of loyalty and betrayal reflecting one another to infinity. In this intensely clever, sometimes baffling book, it's never quite clear who is manipulating whom, and which side is up.” —The New York Times Book Review on The Tourist

“Stunning…Readers are irresistibly drawn into Weaver's dogged struggle to unravel a complicated game of cat and mouse…Steinhauer is at the top of his game--but when isn't he?” —USA Today on The Tourist

“Here's the best spy novel I've ever read that wasn't written by John le Carré.” —Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly, on The Tourist
