Book SynopsisA brilliant novel of espionage and betrayal from 'one of Britain's most accomplished thriller writers' (Daily Mail)
Trade ReviewRich, densely plotted . . . If le Carré needs a successor, Williams has all the equipment for the role * Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year *
Williams is
an accomplished thriller writer and this may be his best book yet. London in the 1960s, its smoky pubs, damp streets and crackle of sexual liberation is so well portrayed that
reading Witchfinder is almost like time travel. Williams
blends fact and fiction to make a captivating read * Financial Times *
Seamlessly combining real-life characters with fictional, Andrew Williams has fashioned
an absolutely cracking espionage novel * Irish Independent *
If a good spy novel needs anything, it's uncertainty, a hall of mirrors; and
Witchfinder delivers it in spades.
Great stuff.The
most authentic spy novel ever written . . .
an utterly fascinating account of a very dangerous time in British history when elements of the Secret State were out of control.
Every bit as cynical in tone as Mick Herron's Slough House mob...
a painstakingly recreated account of the cold war's darkest days * Irish Times *
Gripped me not just because of its crisp writing but because of its unusually
skilful blending of history and imagination... A clever, cautionary tale. * Tablet *
Praise for
