Damnation

`A terrific thriller! Smart and savvy... I had to force myself to stop reading each night.' * Mark Gimenez, author of The Colour of Law * `Frankly brilliant. If you're into globe-trotting action, crime and espionage, then get on it - because this is the real deal and up there with the very best of the genre.' * Robert Parker, author of A Wanted Man * `Damnation is a brilliant thriller, everything a page turner should be... An extremely good read with a very firm sense of location...certainly up there with the best thrillers I have read.' * TripFiction * `Fast, smart and savvy with touches of the Bond laconic coolness. The book is extremely well-researched, especially the behind-the-scenes tensions of the banking world, and this enjoyable thriller, with a good story and plenty of action, marks Beck out as a name to watch in the action thriller genre.' * Crime Review * `The action is fast-paced, the high-finance dealings ring true, and Winter is an impressively modern Bond figure.' * Library Journal * `Damnation travels along at an enormous pace. With its background of financiers and banks all using fair means and foul to get their hands on Arab oil billions for their equity funds, this book reads like a James Bond film and is just as entertaining.' * Mystery People * `Great storyteller.' * Berner Zeitung * `Fast, cool and laconic.' * Sakida Interviewmagazin * `Captivates readers immediately... Swiss James Bond.' * Krimikiosk * `Great arc of suspense... Gripping from the first page to the end.' * Lebenszeit * `Fast-paced international thriller.' * Tourbillon Magazin * `Breathtaking action.' * Buchmagazin * `Breathtaking story... great finale.' * Buch der Woche * `Fascinating new hero...everything a good thriller needs: action, suspense and a touch of erotic.' * Anzeiger von Saanen und Gstaad *
