Evocative and haunting, with a subtle sense of menace that grows with each page

An impressive debut novel...Theorin's excellence in conveying bleak atmosphere is matched by his insight into sensitive family relationships

Fantastic... Theorin's prose is wonderfully descriptive

There is warmth in Theorin's narrative and the gradual piecing together of the story leads to an unexpected denouement

Sheer storytelling grip such as this is relatively rare. A particular strength is the evocation of locale and atmosphere here; it is masterfully done

RULES OF DECEPTION is an ingenious thriller set credibly in the shadowy world of international espionage. This one has it all: well-drawn characters, wonderful writing, exotic settings, and a high-tech terrorist plot that will keep you breathlessly racing along right through its electrifying climax.

There's a reason why Christopher Reich is a superstar writer. You'll find it on page one of this book. And page two. And page three ... and all the way to the vivid end of this great new thriller.

RULES OF DECEPTION is an intense, impossible-to-put down spy novel-like Robert Ludlum at his very best.

He's the equal of such masters of suspense as Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth. This first-class adrenaline fest will leave readers guessing until the last page.

A good old-fashioned thriller

Essentially a stunning exploration of the darkest parts of the human psyche, one which will haunt the reader

There is no doubt that Crime is a page-turner
