Report
Praise for The Trinity Six:
'An utterly absorbing and compelling novel. A brilliant re-imagining of events surrounding the notorious Cambridge spy-ring' William Boyd, bestselling author of Restless
'Sheer excitement' Daily Telegraph
'Often talked of as a potential heir to John le Carré, Cumming confirms here that he's a reliably classy storyteller ... an assured and richly enjoyable thriller' Sunday Times
'Delicate and supremely controlled, this is a spy story to be savoured, not rushed' Daily Mail
'None of the new generation of spy writers lives up to the standard set by Deighton, Forsyth and Le Carré. Enter Cumming, a long-awaited light at the end of a very long tunnel ... This is today's spooks at their most ruthless, with Sam, a heroic if naive amateur sleuth, taking international hitmen and beautiful female agents in his stride to get to the truth. As good as Le Carré - praise indeed' Guardian

'The master of the modern spy thriller' Mail On Sunday
