"Gayle Lynds's The Last Spymaster is an entertaining novel in the grand tradition of the Cold War thriller, filled with rich characters, sharp action and fascinating details ripped from the world of espionage. If you pine for the books of Ludlum or LeCarre, you should be reading Lynds. She matches those greats blow for blow." -Crime Fiction Dossier
