Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“One of the smartest, swiftest, and most compelling spy novels I’ve read in years.” Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author
“Delivers more heart-thumping twists and turns, beliefs and betrayals, than Day of the Jackal and The Spy Who Came in from the Cold rolled into one. Scorpion Betrayal breaks the mold. As a penetrating and fascinating look into the dark underbelly of those tightly-interwoven worlds—global terrorism and international espionage—it is almost a textbook example of how to write a great thriller that today’s readers will love.” Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author
“Kaplan is back with a vengeance in this lightning-swift tale of espionage that opens with a shocking assassination in a Cairo café and then races through the capitals of Europe as Scorpion—a legendary ex-CIA-now-freelance spy—runs his quarry to ground before it’s too late. The authenticity is palpable. I love this novel. Andrew Kaplan represents a gold standard in thriller writing.” David Morrell, New York Times bestselling author
“Kaplan has a masterful grasp of the inner workings of intelligence agencies and their fight against terror that he weaves through this suspenseful tale of espionage.” Reza Kahlili, author of A Time to Betray: The Astonishing Double Life of a CIA Agent Inside the Revolutionary Guards of Iran
“The ending is both logical and refreshingly unexpected. It’s a great read, filled with fabulous facts and frequent flashes that are surprising, but completely believable. I hate to use the cliché, but it’s ture: I couldn’t put it down!” Brian Garfield, author of Death Wish and Hopscotch
