Advance praise forThe Tourist "A first class spy novel-wry, intelligent, layered…the kind of thing John le Carré might have written if he knew then what we know now." --Lee Child Praise for Olen Steinhauer "Steinhauer's people are real, the crimes genuine, and he is telling larger truths about that era." --David Halberstam,Los Angeles Times "Good enough to suggest comparison to Graham Greene, place the author in the forefront of contemporary suspense writers." --Kirkus Reviews(Starred Review) "Every now and then a writer of thrillers or mysteries emerges who deserves to be compared with the best." --Chicago Tribune "Currents of rebellion and pro-democracy fervor sizzle in the air, and this story catches all the danger and excitement of the historic moment." --Marilyn Stasio,The New York Times Book Review, onVictory Square "Liberation Movementsis an entertaining read that should put Steinhauer squarely in the front of the pack of today's espionage writers." --Los Angeles TimesonLiberation Movements "With its shifting perceptions, pervasive paranoia, and truly unpredictable plot, this will be savored by readers of well-crafted espionage ranging from Alan Furst to John le Carré." --Booklist(starred review) on36 Yalta Boulevard, Praise for The Tourist and Olen Steinhauer "Steinhauer manages to push the genre's darker aspects to the extreme . . . without sacrificing the propulsive forward momentum. . . .

Olen Steinhauer is a wonderful storyteller who is smart, observant, and witty. The Tourist has what it take to become a classic." ---Nelson DeMille "Olen Steinhauer's The Tourist is a complex, fast-paced spy novel populated by dozens of striking characters, each with an unexpected, shifting place in the puzzle." ---Thomas Perry "Every now and then a writer of thrillers or mysteries emerges who deserves to be compared with the best." --- Chicago Tribune , Praise forThe Touristand Olen Steinhauer "Steinhauer manages to push the genre's darker aspects to the extreme . . . without sacrificing the propulsive forward momentum. . . .

Synopsis
Steinhauer--twice nominated for an Edgar Award--tackles an intricate story of betrayal and manipulation, loyalty and risk in an utterly compelling novel that is both thoroughly modern and yet also reminiscent of classic espionage thrillers by Graham Greene and John LeCarre., Milo Weaver used to be a "tourist" for the CIA-an undercover agent with no home, no identity-but he's since retired from the field to become a middle-level manager at the CIA's New York headquarters. He's acquired a wife, a daughter, and a brownstone in Brooklyn, and he's tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind. However, when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and exposes new layers of intrigue in his old cases, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's holding the strings once and for all.In The Tourist , Olen Steinhauer - twice nominated for an Edgar Award - tackles an intricate story of betrayal and manipulation, loyalty and risk in an utterly compelling novel that is both thoroughly modern and yet also reminiscent of the espionage genre's luminaries: Len Deighton, Graham Greene, and John LeCarre., Milo Weaver used to be a "tourist" for the CIA-an undercover agent with no home, no identity-but he's since retired from the field to become a middle-level manager at the CIA's New York headquarters.
