Customer Reviews

Gripping, intelligent, informative, and perceptive

Just got my hands on a copy of this novel after hearing about it on the grapevine. And I'm not going to let go! It's a can't-put-down read, but the way Hands gets into the minds of CIA agents and terrorists elevates it beyond the thriller genre. And I've never learned so much about how our intelligence agencies really work from any other book.

Thriller with a purpose

I've read all three of Hands' novels and agree with your editorial review one hundred per cent. They work superbly at the level of a thriller, but afterwards leave you thinking. Brutal Fantasies is the best exposé of the mindset of the CIA that I've read. Le Carré, read this novel and eat your heart out. All I want to know is when is Hands' next book coming out.
