If you read one spy novel this year, read Real Tigers. Better still, read the whole series * Andrew Taylor, The Spectator *
Real Tigers has revitalised the spy thriller genre * Sunday Express *
Surely among the finest British spy fiction of the past 20 years * Metro *
A thriller that moves Herron close to the class of Graham Greene * Daily Mail *

A pulsating spy thriller * Daily Express *

Sardonically funny and pleasingly complex * Independent *
Rather as if Philip Larkin or Alan Bennett had had a go at spy fiction * Sunday Times *
What a find! . . . I think Herron's is the next big name in crime fiction * Literary Review *
