The Orpheus Deception

The Orpheus Deception opens with a brutal assassination attempt on the rainy streets of Venice that sets CIA agent Micah Dalton on a collision course with a vengeful Serbian warlord.

Picking up where The Echelon Vendetta left off – Dalton is still on the run from the CIA, finding himself ever more entangled in a web of conspiracies. He tries to uncover the links between a savage act of piracy in the South China Sea, the disappearance of a CIA agent, and an elusive ship known only as “Orpheus.”

As he desperately seeks to unlock the shattering secret, Dalton is once again caught up in an international chase that takes him from Italy to Singapore and finally back to his homeland and ever-greater danger to himself…

Reviews

Fast-moving, smart, sexy and alarming. Everything you want in a thriller.

—— (of The Echelon vendetta) , Kirkus Reviews

Keeps you guessing right until the end

—— Mail on Sunday

Once again Indridason demonstrates that the best Scandinavian crime writers can hold their own against their British and American rivals

—— Spectator

Outstanding

—— Irish Times

Morosely, intelligently, Erlendur unravels the mystery. With Voices, Indridason proves that his Gold Dagger victory for Silence of the Grave last year was no fluke

—— The Times

Murder Most Fab is filthy, very funny and will be adored by his fans

—— Mark Sanderson , Evening Standard

Clary is a good writer ... A bit as you'd expect the author himself to be, Murder Most Fab has a dirty mouth and scant regard for morals but it is also very pleasant company

—— Louis Wise , Daily Express

With all the ingredients that made Clary a success, plus an extra-large helping of sinister storytelling, Murder Most Fab is viciously funny and deliciously salacious

—— Rob Dawson , Gay Times

A great read, exciting, assured, fast-paced and utterly scary. Wonderful stuff

—— Adrian Magson, Shots

If you are a fan of thrillers, then this will certainly be up your street. It is a quite a page-turner and one you certainly won't be able to put down

—— No 1 Magazine

Instantly engaging and terrifying crime thriller ... once you start reading, you won't want to stop. 5 stars

—— Scarlet

Anyone who enjoys crime fiction will welcome this first novel

—— Scottish Home and Country

Patterson is in a class by himself.

—— VANITY FAIR

... opens with one of the most chilling murder scenes I've read in a long time ... High-octane stuff

—— Daily Express

I was completely swept along by it. It was absolutely fantastic: I romped through it. It is wonderfully-well and scarily described. There is a James Bond quality. It was inspired. Cross Country has an amazing sense of speed, there's a really brilliant tension in the plot. You really believe in Alex Cross.
You're just completely engrossed in it from start to finish. Absolutely incredible. Taking [Cross] into Africa is a masterstroke. The story is unrelentingly exciting.
