The Nearest Exit - Hardcover

Praise for "The Nearest Exit"

"Milo's back, and he's better than ever..."The Nearest Exit" should take its place among the best of the spy thrillers."--Associated Press

""The Nearest Exit, " a terrific second installment in Olen Steinhauer's 'Tourist' spy series about Milo Weaver . . . [His] company is at least as valuable to the series' appeal as is his flair for international trickery."--Janet Maslin, "The New York Times"

"[Steinhauer's] descriptions of European cities and their residents are full of life. But 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."--"Los Angeles Times"

""The Nearest Exit, " Steinhauer's follow-up novel, reprises the themes of "The Tourist" with even more success. . . . Like le Carre's George Smiley, Weaver is a richly imagined creation with a scarred psyche and a complex backstory that elevates him above the status of run-of-the-mill world-weary spook."--"The New York Times Book Review
"
"The author's brilliantly imagined characters...truly sustain this richly rewarding thriller."--"The Houston Chronicle"

"Steinhauer's execution... is nearly impeccable, and if your taste goes this dark you will follow him wherever he goes."--"The Dallas Morning News"

"Steinhauer's adept characterization of a morally conflicted spy makes this an emotionally powerful read."--"Publishers Weekly"

""The Tourist" was impressive, proving that Steinhauer had the ability to leap from the historical setting of his excellent Eastern European quintet to a vividly imagined contemporary landscape. But this is even better, a dazzling, dizzyingly complex world of clandestine warfare that is complicated further by the affairs of the heart."--"Booklist "(starred review)

"Extraordinarily complex and compelling."--"Library Journal"
