"Praise for Double Agent: ""The character of Kate is terrific. She's honest, brave and whip smart . . . If any of you are missing the Cold War espionage novels of the 1970s and 1980s, this series is for you.""--Deadly Pleasures Magazine ""Bradby masterfully combines textured psychological drama with a rip-roaring plot that boasts several dizzying switchbacks along the way to a genuinely shocking conclusion.""--Booklist (starred review) ""Engrossing . . .

Bradby does a fine job balancing the professional with the personal.""--Publishers Weekly ""Kate's quest has plenty of scope for a third volume . . . Bradby's fans will welcome his heroine's return.""--Kirkus Reviews ""An enjoyably labyrinthine tale with a light touch and the odd naughty satirical echo.""--Sunday Express ""Bradby's portrayal of squabbling Whitehall folk continues to be intriguing and distinctive (and piquantly naughty, coming as it does from ITV's chief anchorman).""--Sunday Times ""A high-paced thriller.""--Radio Times ""Zips along like a big, breaking news story.""--The Sun Praise for Tom Bradby and Secret Service: ""A gripping thriller.""--Sunday Times (UK), on Secret Service ""There are resonant echoes of le Carre here--in the way the betrayals reach from marriage beds to the seats of governments--but there is also a distinctly contemporary feeling in the idea that truth, even when it's discoverable, may no longer matter.""--Booklist (starred review), on Secret Service ""Cracking, uber-topical spy thriller . . .
