       Praise for A Colder War:

      ‘The spy thriller has been on the ascendant in the past few years, breeding a bunch of talented writers, Cumming among the very best’ The Times

      ‘An espionage maestro … The levels of psychological insight are married to genuine narrative acumen – but anyone who has read his earlier books will expect no less’ Independent

      ‘A cleverly plotted spy tale’ Sun

      ‘Cumming’s prose is always lean and effective, but I was struck by the many times he injected phrases and descriptions so nice that I stopped to savour them’ Washington Post

      ‘A Colder War is more than an excellent thriller: it is also a novel that forces us to look behind the headlines and question some of our own comfortable assumptions’ Spectator

       Dedication

       For Christian Spurrier

      ‘Certain persons … have a natural predilection to live in that curious world of espionage and deceit, and attach themselves with equal facility to one side or the other, so long as their craving for adventure of a rather macabre type is satisfied.’

      John Masterman, The Double-Cross System

      ‘… You are neither here nor there,

      A hurry through which known and strange things pass

      As big soft buffetings come at the car sideways

      And catch the heart off guard and blow it open.’

      Seamus Heaney, ‘Postscript’
