Praise for The Nearest Exit
“The Nearest Exit, a terrific second installment in Olen Steinhauer’s ‘Tourist’ spy series about Milo Weaver, a brooding C.I.A. operative with all the right lone-wolf tendencies… Milo’s company is at least as valuable to the series’s appeal as is his flair for international trickery.”
--Janet Maslin, The New York Times (Notable Book of 2010)
“Weaver is the novel's gem… In many ways this is a classic spy novel, but it's Weaver's angst that lifts the book to a compelling level of freshness.”
--USA Today
“Steinhauer delivers another winner in The Nearest Exit, a spy novel that asks deeper questions about the price we extract from individuals in the pursuit of the so-called greater good and the innocents who become collateral damage. It's a subject as relevant to a spy within the CIA as it is to any of us: That's a point that — through the prism of Milo's humanity and the dangerous web in which he finds himself enmeshed — Steinhauer makes abundantly and thrillingly clear.”
--Los Angeles Times
Praise for The Tourist
“Here’s the best spy novel I’ve ever read that wasn’t written by John le Carré… It’s a complex story of betrayal anchored by a protagonist who’s as winning as his is wily.”
--Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly
“Remember John le Carre… when he wrote about beaten-down, morally directionless spies? In other words, when he was good? That's how Olen Steinhauer writes in this tale of a world-weary spook who can't escape the old game.”
