Harris's understanding of Soviet and modern Russian is impressive. The novel rests on a seamless blend of fact and fiction that places real figures from Soviet history alongside Kelso and his fictional colleagues. Especially disturbing are the transcripts from interrogations and the excerpt from Kelso's lectures on Stalin; the documents provide chilling evidence to support Kelso's claim: "There can now be no doubt that it is Stalin rather than Hitler who is the most alarming figure of the twentieth century." --Patrick O'Kelley
ENIGMA
"Elegant, atmospheric . . . a tense and thoughtful thriller."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"Literate and savvy . . . It's always a pleasure to encounter a historical thriller this subtle and detailed. . . . [
] brims with wartime intrigue and paranoia."
--The Washington Post Book World
FATHERLAND
"A stunning debut." --Boston Globe
"An elegant thriller, a thoughtful, frightening story of complicity."
--San Francisco Chronicle
"An absorbing, expertly written novel."
--The New York Times
