Recensione:

"Sallis investigates the cynical, violent, sophisticated world of modern espionage with authority and originality. His adult view of spies and their world has all the delicious ambiguous atmosphere, the complexity of plot and character we expect from Graham Greene or John le Carre - and it goes like a bullet train. Sallis is a superb writer and this is his best novel yet!" --Michael Moorcock

"Vivid and strange, with prose like blown glass, Death Will Have Your Eyes is somehow equal parts Borges and Trevanian's Shibumi. I was enthralled." --Jonathan Lethem
