Review:
"Strong. . . . Immediate. . . . Masterful."--Steve Berry "Heart-stopping. . . . Carter brings the reader to a blazing final confrontation."--Denver Post "An intense, beautifully written thriller that held me in its grip from the very first page to the last."--Christopher Reich "The best espionage novel I've come across in twenty years."--Lincoln Child "Carter meticulously ratchets up the tension." --Chris Bohjalian, The Boston Globe "Jericho's Fall is that rare thing: a page-turner that grips the readers' attention as they plunge into a vortex. . . . A thrilling roller coaster ride until the very last page. . . . Carter is a masterly novelist."--San Francisco Chronicle "An intricate spy thriller that proceeds at breakneck speed. . . . Graham Greene's readers, who savored [his] novels' unselfconscious erudition and matter-of-fact moral complexity, as well as their engaging plots, are likely to feel themselves on familiar ground here."--Los Angeles Times "A simmering page-turner about the murky underbelly of intelligence and finance that."--Seattle Times "Carter writes graceful prose, and he understands the mechanics of suspenseful storytelling."--Washington Post "One of those novels that people linger over and re-read simply for the experience and pleasure of analyzing how the author worked his magic. . . . Stephen Carter is possessed of a sharp and subtle wit. . . . This is the sharpest manifestation of his talent to date."--Bookreporter
