From the Back Cover:

Praise for William E. Holland's Moscow Twilight

"A spy thriller that covers its Soviet ground as convincingly as its American....Holland clearly knows what life is like from all sides....portrayed with convincing realism and compassion...." --Julia Watson, Washington Post

"A super book....on par with Gorky Park." --Connie Woodcock, The Toronto Sun

"Superb. The credible plot is firmly anchored in the reality of a crumbling Soviet political life, the setting in the reality of crumbling Soviet streets. Not to be missed." --Kirkus Reviews

"A distinctive and absorbing thriller...." --Peter Mergendahl, Rocky Mountain News

"William Holland's novel captures both the grimness and the hope in today's Russia." --Lawrence S. Connor, Indianapolis Star. "The spy thriller Moscow Twilight has no right to be as good as it is....Holland shows a keen sensitivity to the place and the people....a delicate look at a delicate time." (Harry Levins, St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
