Nelson Mandela

Robert Harris has recreated the whole structure of a totally corrupt society in a way that makes the flesh creep

Gripping in the way John Buchan, Len Deighton and John LeCarré are. The writing is superb. This novel lifts its author into a new and superior class

The Times

Tightly constructed... grips as tightly as a Nazi's glove

A fantastic thriller... The final solution is an utter surprise. Harris reaches it with speed, conveying a whole culture of grotesquery and kitsch

Ingenious... fast-paced and beautifully written
