The Kingfisher Secret

“A tantalizing new thriller . . . there is great house-of-mirrors fun to be had.”
—Globe and Mail

“Ripped from the headlines and inspired by tales, speculation and whispers from within the intelligence community, [this is a] . . . highly charged novel of intrigue and deception.”
—PR Newswire

“In an era when our credulity is stretched daily by political stories . . . the idea that a president’s former wife was trained by the KGB to trap a man with political aspirations might not be so hard to believe. The narrative jumps locales as often and as quickly as a private jet in a time warp.”
—Toronto Star

“[A] suggestive thriller . . . There are lots of twists and turns, red herrings, and characters to follow . . . even when truth is stranger than fiction, this bit of fiction is satisfyingly offbeat.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Eventful storytelling and disguised larger-than-life characters.”
—The Guardian

“A political thriller that is at once entertaining, frightening, and thought-provoking.”
—Calgary Herald

“In Macintyre’s account, perhaps no one since Igor Gouzenko himself supplied more priceless information about Soviet operations, aims and fears. Or ever provided so enthralling a true-spy story.”
—Maclean’s
