'A strangely compelling, breezily told tale of a world in which everyone is driven by pure greed.'
Review
'It lies somewhere between a thriller, an addict's memoir and a techie's journey to the dark side...[And] while the book is entertainingly written, it does raise some serious questions.' (Dan Glaister
G2, GUARDIAN (2.8.06) )
'Walton's account of how he fell into Fetterman's venal ways is a fast-paced and readable mea culpa...There is genuine tension in his telling of his undoing when he forged a painting as being by the US abstract artist Richard Diebenkorn.' (
FINANCIAL TIMES MAGAZINE (5/6 August 2006) )
'this account of how his appalling-sounding former army acquaintance Fetterman dragged him into an ever-increasing mire if lies, deceit and forged bidding is...gripping.' (
NEW STATESMAN (28.8.06) )
'He writes with pace, style and tension - everything a crime story needs...The slow, unfolding of his crime makes tense reading.' (Frances Spalding
