Why read it?
1 author picked The Tourist as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Meet Milow Weaver. Anything by Steinhauer appeals to me, but Milow is one of my favorite spies.
He’s a person with flaws who is trying to escape the dark world of espionage for the sake of his family and his future. His nemesis, a Chinese agent, remains a mysterious, although fearsome, force.
The use of spy craft is exquisite and the novel is clever. I think you’ll like it.
From Ursula's list on thrillers that favor espionage and tradecraft over fireworks.
