Trade Review
THE BIG CLOCK has it - the deadpan, make-believe sinister quality, and the terse, preposterous fancy. It is, besides, a thriller with a unique plot * TIME *
If you enjoy top-drawer detective fiction...we can recommend this one with no reservations whatsoever * NEW YORK TIMES *
So rare a compound of irony, satire, and icy-fingered narrative * WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW *
[A] brilliant study in noir...deservedly a classic in its depiction of the corporate man at his most basic and disloyal * BOSTON GLOBE AND MAIL *
A master of the tour de force * WASHINGTON POST *
A brilliantly dark and menacing tale. * CATHOLIC HERALD *
You'll be hard pushed to find a better noir thriller. * BIG ISSUE IN THE NORTH *
