Tim Glister puts the reader at the heart of the Cold War and captures the high stakes paranoia of the era brilliantly.' -- Adam Hamdy, author of Black 13 'There is a ruthless female killer at large, sightings of a Soviet submarine and ambitious KGB officers fomenting audacious coups. All this and references to Harry Palmer and The Day of the Jackal, cram the stage with scenery before a climax at the Royal Opera House.' -- The Times, thriller of the month 'A Loyal Traitor is an accomplished and atmospheric spy novel with an original protagonist and a burning question at its heart.

This is superior stuff. A lean, intelligent espionage thriller skillfully rendering not just the messy truth of Cold War operations, but the intimate emotional toll of such work.' -- Dominic Nolan, author of the Abigail Boone series 'Tim Glister is creating such an elegant and vivid style of his own. This is another pitch perfect portrayal of a Cold War crisis. Glister creates a distinctive and fascinating thriller, which I hugely enjoyed.' -- Holly Watt, author of To the Lions 'The plot is fast-paced, with plenty of tension and action.' -- Mystery People 'It is a classic set up and Glister never misses an opportunity to play with the conventions established by his notable predecessor, John le Carre... always entertaining.' -- Bookmunch 'A brilliantly convoluted plot with layer on layer of subplot at every turn.' -- Shots Magazine Praise for Red Corona: 'This pitch-perfect debut - a gripping espionage thriller in the vein of Charles Cumming, Tom Rob Smith and Mick Herron - signals the arrival of a remarkable talent.'
