Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Jake is our hero - funny, courageous, and wickedly clever - and Boutsikaris reads his character with just the right touch. He does a great job portraying the many other players and reads at a good brisk pace that reflects the building tension and action." --Library Journal

"Jason Culp's narration adds edge to this tightly plotted corporate thriller...The gripping story and the deft reading make for a solid listening experience." --Publishers Weekly

"You don't read Colin Harrison, you devour him." --The Philadelphia Enquirer

"His [Narrator Jason Culp] timing...is quite good, and he changes his tone and pitch for different characters, so we never get bored by his delivery." --The Sunday Journal Sentinel

"As sharp and insidery as a Tom Wolfe opus, with the giddyup pacing of an airport-rack paperback." --Men's Journal on Havana Room

"[Harrison is] the class act of the urban thriller. A." --Entertainment Weekly on Havana Room

"A consistently entertaining story . . . [Harrison] is a master of mood and atmosphere." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times on Havana Room

"A great read, an elegantly crafted thriller you won't want to put down." --Patrick Anderson, The Washington Post on Havana Room

"A practically perfect literary thriller with a bitter lingering "afterburn" indeed." --Kirkus Reviews on Afterburn

"Extraordinary . . . A masterpiece." --The Washington Post on Afterburn

"Colin Harrison will have you gasping for breath in the eyeball-popping opening chapter of The Finder, his latest New York thriller, one unlikely to be distributed by the Tourism Bureau . . . Once again he's mucking about in the city's greedy underbelly in a pulsating novel that obscenely documents the gritty, ugly intersection of commerce and corruption . . . Harrison (The Havana Room, Afterburn) writes like Rambo on meth and throws in enough black humor to prove he's more brains than brawn." --USA Today

"[Harrison] is an uncommonly astute writer." --The Seattle Times
