'Hitchcock would have admired Joseph Finder's The Switch' Guardian. 'The plotting is first class, the characterisation is sublime and the way Finder injects pace into a story about nothing more than an absent-minded mistake is a masterclass' Crime Squad. 'An adrenaline-filled cat-and-mouse story that has some of the most amazing chase scenes I've ever read' K.J. Howe, Metro. 'An enjoyable cat-and-mouse chase, with dark shadows of Snowden and Wikileaks' The Times, Summer Reads 2017. 'Fast-moving action, and a clever political background, some of it not entirely unfamiliar these days' The Times. 'Finder takes a random mixup that could happen to any of us and spins it into a nail-biting nightmare' Linwood Barclay. 'Seemingly ripped from recent headlines, Finder's latest is one of his most fiendishly plotted and eerily relevant thrillers ... A master of what might be called the "man in over his head" thriller, Finder delivers a tense, uncannily relevant tale about government secrets falling into the wrong hands' Kirkus.
