5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 8 April 2000
I'm not a great reader but whilst working offshore, I picked up a used copy of The Chinaman and after the first chapter I just couldn't put it down. A long time later, I was reminded of the author's name and went looking for another of his books. I found The Birthday Girl. It is every bit as good and again I could not put it down. The adrenaline flowed from start to finish. I could never guess what was coming next. Gripping stuff! My only critisism is that it was so good, I finished it too quickly!

4.0 out of 5 stars You will want more, 10 Dec 1999
By stewmarsden@hotmail.com (Gateshead, England) - See all my reviews
I became hooked on Stephen Leather after The Chinaman and Payoff. I consequently bought all his other books and am currently working my way through them. You always expect to be disappointed at some stage but so far so good! This one is far from predictable and keeps you turning pages to the last. Job done Mr Leather.

5.0 out of 5 stars See if you can put it down !, 27 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I was first introduced to the talents of Stephen Leather when I read "Double Tap". I have since read all of his novels, and this is probably the best along with "The Chinaman". The research is excellent, and his style is on a par with Jack Higgins. He has an amazing ability to keep you in incredible suspense, right up to the last page. If you have never read Stephen Leather, read this - and I'll guarantee you will become addicted. PS - buy "The Chinaman" next !
