Robert Harris recommends
The Dig (2007)
John Preston
"An enthralling story of love and loss, a real literary treasure. One of the most original novels of the year."
A Spy by Nature (2001)
(Alec Milius, book 1)
Charles Cumming
"A Spy by Nature is a wonderfully assured first novel. From the first page to the last it has the ring of absolute authenticity. Tautly written, cleverly plotted ... it reminded me strongly of the early books of John le Carre."
Stealing Thunder (1999)
Peter Millar
"An intelligent thriller, an expert blend of nuclear history and international intrigue - fast-paced and convincing."
