AN American Spy

International praise for the novels of Christopher Hyde “[Hyde] draws tension with the skill of a surgeon.

Hyde’s ability to describe people and places is fantastic!”—Herald American “Sophisticated, intelligent and wonderfully literate suspense. A unique and masterful work of historical fiction.”—Los Angeles Rapport “A whizzer of a story.”—Library Journal “A superior piece of work.”—Houston Chronicle “A writer to watch.”—New Orleans Times-Picayune
