All the Old Knives (Wheeler Publishing Large Print Hardcover) - Tapa dura

Praise for "The Cairo Affair
""Stunning...It has become de rigeur to compare Steinhauer to le Carre, but it's nearly time to pass the torch: for the next generation, it's Steinhauer who will become the standard by which others are measured."--"Booklist" (starred)
"Elaborate, sophisticated...A long, twisty road full of cleverly placed potholes and unexpected turns...Mr. Steinhauer draws his spies as flesh-and-blood characters."--Janet Maslin, "The New York Times
"Praise for "The Tourist" series
"Not since le Carre has a writer so vividly evoked the multilayered, multifaceted, deeply paranoid world of espionage, in which identities and allegiances are malleable and ever shifting, the mirrors of loyalty and betrayal reflecting one another to infinity. In this intensely clever, sometimes baffling book, it's never quite clear who is manipulating whom, and which side is up."--"The New York Times Book Review
""Stunning...Readers are irresistibly drawn into Weaver's dogged struggle to unravel a complicated game of cat and mouse...Steinhauer is at the top of his game--but when isn't he?"--"USA Today
""Here's the best spy novel I've ever read that wasn't written by John le Carre."--Stephen King, "Entertainment Weekly"

After a failed rescue attempt of a hijacked plane in Vienna, two retired spies, former lovers, cant help but relive the past and determine if the mission went wrong because of a compromised agent on the inside.
