Review:
""Layover in Dubai "is a frantic tale of cold murder, cunning double-crosses, and narrow escapes. Yet by setting his story in the mind-numbingly hot and soul-crushingly glitzy city of Dubai, Fesperman allows his novel to raise troubling questions about our globalized era . . . All the while, as if gobbling fistfuls of buttered popcorn, we plow our way through sharp scenes of brilliant resourcefulness in the face of a towering conspiracy . . . Fesperman has once again given us--to use Graham Greene's term for his own books of straight-up intrigue and violent doings--a solid 'entertainment.'"
--"NPR.org"
" "
"Fesperman sharpens his storytelling acumen to cut through various global issues in his latest thriller . . . Dubai proves to be an ideal spot for excess, intrigue, and nefarious corporate shenanigans . . . Fesperman builds tension and contrast with various subplots that buttress the overall story, and he deftly weaves a looming countdown into the tale for added suspense . .
