Reviews

Matthews skilfully balances the exhilarating thrill of the chase with the conflict between duty, self-interest and justice in his hero's heart. A fine send off for a well-accomplished series.
*THE TIMES 'Best Thrillers of the Month'*

Matthews' excellent Black Sun spy trilogy comes to an impressively tense conclusion in White Fox . . . First rate.
*MAIL ON SUNDAY*

A white-knuckle ride through the grey paranoia of Cold War Soviet Russia, which Owen Matthews conjures up quite brilliantly.
*SHOTS magazine*

Superlative . . . balances thrills with historical fact (and speculation) in equal measure and it races you along to its breath-taking conclusion.
*CRIME TIME*

Impressive . . . Matthews' knowledge of the USSR and the Cold War gives the novel the feeling of authenticity . . . a personal note at the end shows why Vasin's struggles are both so convincing and so affecting.
