Praise
Praise for The Amateur
“It’s time for Jack Reacher, Jack Ryan, Ethan Hunt and Jason Bourne to step aside to give Charles Heller—a CIA cryptographer looking to take revenge on the terrorists who killed his wife—his time in the spotlight.”
—E! News
“A taut, chilling plot and a protagonist as memorable as one of Len Deighton’s, or le Carré’s Smiley.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“A first-rate thriller . . . Littell is a terrific writer.”
—Chicago Tribune
“One of the best . . . a thoroughly professional and surprise-filled work.”
—Los Angeles Times
“An espionage novel that will rival Gorky Park.”
—The Minneapolis Tribune
“Truly outstanding.”
—The Denver Post
“This elegant spy novel has everything: honest emotions, shifting moods, a likeable hero and heroine, despicable villains, intrigue, action, surprise twists, economical writing, lively dialogue . . . The Amateur is the work of a real pro.”
—The Cleveland Plain Dealer
“[A] slick, edge-of-your-seat mystery.”
—Electric Literature
Praise for Robert Littell
“If Littell didn’t invent the American spy novel, he should have.”
—Tom Clancy
“America’s greatest living espionage novelist.”
—Sarah Weinman, The Crime Lady
“Since his Cold War classic, The Defection of AJ Lewinter, Littell has been steadily creating his own subgenre, the counter-thriller, witty and highly original tales that play off clichés of the Cold War thriller and subvert them.”
—The Washington Post
