Reviews
"This is a wonderfully well written book, a sophisticated story of political intrigue, conspiracy, and treachery. Reich's evocation of post-war Germany in ruins has an uncanny sense of you-are-there; a trip into virtual reality--the author is a master of moody atmosphere and historic detail. A fascinating look at the world that existed between the hot war and the cold war, populated by larger-than-life characters who gamble for incredibly high stakes." --Nelson DeMille, author ofLion's Game "[Reich] keeps the pages turning." --The Detroit Free Press "A hefty thriller, authentic-seeming in historical fact and...as irresistible as a big postwar Technicolor movie." --The Wall Street Journal "Dark and tough and extremely entertaining...[The Runner] has one of the most audacious twists ever tacked on to the end of an already satisfying story." --Daily News(New York) "The best thing about this novel is its evocation of the terrible chaos of war-shattered Europe during the first few months after V-E Day....[the hero's] search for his brother's killer turns into a race against time for the fate of Europe." --The Chicago Sun-Times Praise forNumbered Account: "Smart and sophisticated...Wonderfully credible." --The New York Times "Reich keeps things moving at breakneck speed." --The Wall Street Journal "Fascinating...The tension crackles." --People "Chilling detail, suspense, and intrigue." --The Denver Post "Big story...Big enjoyment...A completely different kind of thriller." --Newsday, "This is a wonderfully well written book, a sophisticated story of political intrigue, conspiracy, and treachery.
