‘One of the best spy thrillers for years … McCloskey is a former CIA analyst who worked in the Middle East. As with le Carré, much of the fascination of his writing comes from his insider’s knowledge of spying’s shadow ballet … Treat yourself to a walk along the Street Called Straight: you won’t find a more compelling guide than David McCloskey’ The Times

  1. 5/5 Peppe Knutsson

    Helt otroligt bra bok. En äkta agenthistoria à la John Le Carré. Gillar man sådant så är detta en värdig utmanare.
