Literary Titan Review
Readers Favorite Review
Five Stars
'Meticulously researched, this puts you right in the thick of the action in and following WW2. Good, believable characters and tense situations. Excellent spy thriller!'
- Angus Rorison - Author of 'The Sven Kingdoms' book series
4Stars
'The atmosphere created is wonderfully evocative and it captured the atmosphere of Berlin wonderfully ... the author also has a wonderful turn of phrase, and I found myself laughing out loud a couple of times. It is no mean feat to achieve that without breaking the tension and period setting. ... If, like me, you’re not a regular reader of noir and spy thrillers, you’ll find this an excellent introduction to the genre, and it will leave you wanting more, including another book from Fisher.'
- Kit Derrick - Author of 'Man in the Bath' and 'The Raven Sound'
Five Stars
' I couldn’t put this down... If you only read one book set in this time period this year make sure this is it. I believe Mr. Fisher may just very well be this generations le Carre.'
- Tales From the Book Dragon (Book Blogger)
4Stars
'Exciting, intriguing, well-paced thriller full of twists and turns ... Brilliant.'​
- M.J. Webb - Author of 'A Child of Szabo'
Five Stars
'A dark story about a dark period of time. Well developed characters and a descriptive setting made this story very enjoyable if in a depressing sort of way (but fitting for the time and place). I would definitely read more from this writer.'

Five Stars
'The despair, corruption and hypocrisy of the period ooze from the pages of the book as the hero tries to weave a righteous path in a world filled with turmoil. ... By the end I came away with the feeling that though he had managed to achieve some sort of success it was at a terrible price.'
- Brian (on Goodreads)
