The Sunday Times named A Foreign Country their thriller of the year yesterday!

“Charles Cumming deservedly won the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger award earlier this month for A Foreign Country (HarperCollins), in which a disgraced spook hunts for Amelia Levene, who has disappeared shortly before becoming MI6’s first female boss. Often compared to John le Carré, Cumming here emerges from his shadow in a thriller that has everything you could ask for — a twisty, sexy plot, topical themes, memorable characters and plentiful spy lore.” John Dugdale
