Praise for The Man with the Baltic Stare:
"Each Inspector O novel is a strange new trip through the looking glass, and this one is every bit as praiseworthy as its predecessors." --Booklist, starred review
“Church once again shows an extraordinary ability to bring that enigmatic country to life, a feat made even more impressive by the wholly plausible near-future setting. Satisfied readers will hail Church as the equal of le Carré.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review
“In literary retirement, [Church] employs the accumulated intelligence to get inside ‘enemy’ skin—using the character of Inspector O to show the spectrum of emotions, ideals and historical sensibilities through which a jaded yet ultimately loyal North Korean apparatchik might make sense of his country’s plight.” –Wall Street Journal
“The Man With The Baltic Stare is a spy thriller supreme…Church steers a suspenseful route of elegant twists and hairpin turns.” -- Dayton Daily News
“While publishers comb the fjords for the next Stieg Larsson, readers devoted to bleak international noir would do better to turn their attention from Northern Europe to Asia. North Korea, to be exact. The hero of The Man With the Baltic Stare, the fourth and perhaps last in a series of excellent crime novels following Inspector O, might not know how to use the cell phone he sometimes has to carry. But like Larsson's heroine, a petite Asperger-ish libertarian in the land of large blondes and big government, the self-contained Inspector O bucks the stereotypes that we associate with his country.” --Slate.com
“A suspenseful plot.” -- AolNews.com
“The secretive world comes alive in Church’s ‘Inspector O’ series of novels in descriptive prose so accurate that experts who have seen North Korea from the inside say the books should be required reading for diplomats, military leaders and others seeking an understanding of the social and political fabric of the ‘Hermit Kingdom’.” -- Stars and Stripes
