'I know a secret. A secret that changes everything . . .'
A vine and wilde adventure
A vine and wilde adventure
Sunday MailNow comes Matthew Richardson, hailed as the next Charles Cumming. My Name is Nobody actually falls somewhere between Robert Ludlum and Le Carre
The TimesA splendid tale of espionage starring an old-fashioned MI6 hero . . . exciting spy literature
SPORT MagazineAll debut spy novelists are dubbed the new John le Carre but Richardson has made a good fist of living up to the accolade at his first attempt . . . [a] knowledgeable thriller
The GuardianProof that the genre is flourishing anew in the 21st century . . . [he] distinguishes the more ambitious offerings in the spy genre, but his plotting has an old-school, Swiss-clock precision that keeps the reader pleasurably engaged.
Gregg Hurwitz, No. 1 bestselling author of Orphan XI dare you to find a first novel as self-assured, impeccably researched and beautifully rendered . . . Richardson paints a portrait of espionage that calls to mind early le Carré
James Swallow, bestselling author of NomadCompelling, intense and sharply authentic
Sunday Times Crime ClubA pleasingly convoluted spy saga . . . which combines immaculate Cold War tradecraft with modern tech savvy as our maverick hero comes up against a Le Carre-esque establishment while trying to find a mole and head off a terrorist atrocity
Shot MagazineTruly authentic and frighteningly so . . . a remarkable thriller
Jason Matthews, author of Red SparrowAuthentic, mysterious, fraught with deception, betrayal, and uncertain allegiances, it captures perfectly the foggy world of spies, populated by conspiracy and turncoats, both friends and enemies, an evocative descent into the Wilderness of Mirrors
Mick Herron, CWA Gold Dagger-winning author of Dead LionsMatthew Richardson's debut is a bang-up-to-date thriller told with old-school panache. A great read
