Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES
If you enjoy top-drawer detective fiction...we can recommend this one with no reservations whatsoever
WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW
So rare a compound of irony, satire, and icy-fingered narrative
TIME
THE BIG CLOCK has it - the deadpan, make-believe sinister quality, and the terse, preposterous fancy. It is, besides, a thriller with a unique plot
WASHINGTON POST
A master of the tour de force
BOSTON GLOBE AND MAIL
[A] brilliant study in noir...deservedly a classic in its depiction of the corporate man at his most basic and disloyal
