Matthews skilfully balances the exhilarating thrill of the chase with the conflict between duty, self-interest and justice in his hero's heart. A fine send off for a well-accomplished series.
THE TIMES 'Best Thrillers of the Month'
Matthews' excellent Black Sun spy trilogy comes to an impressively tense conclusion in White Fox . . . First rate.
MAIL ON SUNDAY
A white-knuckle ride through the grey paranoia of Cold War Soviet Russia, which Owen Matthews conjures up quite brilliantly.
SHOTS magazine
Superlative . . . balances thrills with historical fact (and speculation) in equal measure and it races you along to its breath-taking conclusion.
Maxim Jakubowski, CRIME TIME
Impressive . . . Matthews' knowledge of the USSR and the Cold War gives the novel the feeling of authenticity . . . a personal note at the end shows why Vasin's struggles are both so convincing and so affecting.
LITERARY REVIEW
Brings to mind The 39 Steps . . . impressive plotting and historical detail.
CRIME FICTION LOVER
Outstanding . . . [Matthews] writes with verve . . . Vasin is his finest creation.
Adam LeBor, FINANCIAL TIMES
One of the best of many western writers on Russia . . . a kind of Russian version of The Thirty-Nine Steps . . . such is the impact of the story as it progresses that we willingly suspend disbelief for the sake of an engrossing read.
