'Lift the lid off Cumming's novel The Man Between and breathe in an exotic tagine stew,redolent of murderous international conspiracy,assassination,kidnapping,and a beautiful dangerous woman,set against the colourful matchstick mosaic of Marrakesh. Another Cumming triumph.'- Jason Matthews
'Charles Cumming's The Man Between continues the author's steady upwards trajectory; he will soon be snapping at the heels of such masters as John le Carre and Gerald Seymour.'- Guardian
'I have been a fan of Charles Cumming ever since A Spy by Nature,and The Man Between is up there with the best - full of thrills,wit and fine writing,with a plot and themes that might have been taken from today's headlines. Writer/spy Kit Carradine is a thoroughly engaging protagonist,and I look forward to meeting him again. Superb espionage fiction.'- Peter Robinson
