Very good... This novel outclasses the thriller genre * Financial Times *
Hyper-suspenseful... Not to be missed' * Guardian *
Superior quality... Taps more than just adrenalin * Observer *
Tension alone would make The Contract an unusually satisfying thriller. In addition it has characters simply but deftly drawn... The writing is crisp and confident * Sunday Independent *
