About this title

About the Author:

GERALD SEYMOUR was a reporter at ITN for fifteen years, where his first assignment was covering the Great Train Robbery in 1963. He later covered events in Vietnam, Borneo, Aden, Israel and Northern Ireland. Seymour was on the streets of Londonderry on the afternoon of Bloody Sunday, and was a witness to the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. Seymour's first novel was the acclaimed thriller "Harry's Game," set in Belfast, which became an instant international bestseller and later a television series. Six of Seymour's thrillers have now been filmed for television in the UK and US. "The Dealer and the Dead" is his twenty-seventh novel.

Review:

Praise for Gerald Seymour: "The three British masters of suspense, Graham Greene, Eric Ambler, and John le Carre, have been joined by a fourth--Gerald Seymour." -"New York Times""Not since the arrival of John le Carre has the emergence of an international suspense novelist been as stunning as that of Gerald Seymour." -"Los Angeles Times Book Review""[Seymour] isn't just abreast of the headlines, [but] ahead of them." --"The Washington Post""Seymour may be the best spy novelist ever." -"Philadelphia Inquirer""In a class of his own." -"The London Times""One of the modern masters of the craft." --"Daily Mail"Praise for "The Dealer and the Dead" "A war crime propels this stellar thriller from Edgar-finalist Seymour (Harry's Game).... How Seymour develops these characters and manipulates them until they all end up in Vukovar is a testament to his talent and skill." -"Publishers Weekly," starred review
"Seymour loves detail, and The Dealer and the Dead serves it up brilliantly.... The Bosnian conflict was spectacularly cruel. Two decades on, it continues to spur headlines and to provide potent plotlines for novelists. It's fitting that Seymour, one of the finest contemporary espionage novelists, shines his unique light on it." -Booklist, starred review"Seymour [is] incapable of creating a two-dimensional character . . . The ending is brilliantly orchestrated." -"The London Times"
"Crisp, taut and contemporary, by a stylish writer." --"The""Observer" (UK)
"Discerning thriller readers can safely say that the best practitioner currently working in the UK is the veteran Seymour. He is, quite simply, the most intelligent and accomplished in the current field . . . Here, we have a typically compromised Seymour anti-hero, a masterfully organised globe-spanning narrative and a mass of highly persuasive detail. "The Dealer and the Dead" is Seymour firing on all cylinders, and his rivals need, once again, to look to their laurels." --Barry Forshaw, author of "The M
