"Quirk has earned his spot in the front ranks of thriller writers. Opens with a bang and keeps exploding for three hundred pages." - David Baldacci New York Times bestselling author of A Minute to Midnight "[A] gritty, intense political thriller, filled with nuance and dire exploits. Totally entertaining. A treat from start to finish." - Steve Berry, author of The Malta Exchange "Hour of the Assassin is written in terse, swift prose as it sketches a panorama of 'Washington at its worst,' a place ruled by 'the corruption and blood sport of high politics.'" - Wall Street Journal "[A] nonstop whirlwind... Quirk again displays the infectious pacing he's known for." - Publishers Weekly "Quirk crafts intense plots that crackle with a barely restrained energy... Damn hard to put down, and [I] blazed my way through it in less than a day... Quirk has once again written a story that stands out as one of the best thrillers you will read this year." - Mystery Scene Magazine "A cracking-good suspenser carried by some fine writing... and leading up to a sweaty-palms finale that goes on for 100 quickly turned pages." - Library Journal "Of all the literary genres, a suspense novel is highly dependent on a good hook. Matthew Quirk knows this better than anyone... His books do not begin with subtle language or mysterious foreshadowing. They begin with a bang, sometimes quite literally." - San Diego Union-Tribune "The action never ceases in Quirk's story, and you'll find yourself reading way past your bedtime." - Newark Star-Ledger "Quirk's Hour of the Assassin...reads like a blockbuster from beginning to end. Trust me, if you're looking for a great thriller to sink your teeth into, this is it. Quirk brings his very best here, delivering a stunning, page-turning reading experience that's not to be missed." - TheRealBookSpy.com A pitch-perfect and high-octane conspiracy action-adventure novel by an author with an impressive flair for original and narrative driven storytelling, "Hour of the Assassin" is a compelling read from start to finish -- and will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library collections." - Midwest Book Review "One of our great action thriller writers, so smart you barely notice him being smart-sophisticated in international politics as well as weaponry... Here, [the subject is] domestic political evil, probably too wicked and ingenious to be entirely true (we fervently hope), but hellishly convincing." - Sullivan County Democrat "This story is impossible to put out of mind.... Relevant and revealing, this is one of the best thrillers to come along in years." - Michael Connelly on The Night Agent "Baldacci's debut [Absolute Power] kept me awake half the night. I'm still a fan... I had the same reaction when I picked up The Night Agent... Best to start this at the beginning of a weekend, as you'll be burning the midnight oil 'til you're finished." - Newark Star Ledger on The Night Agent "Plenty of breathless one-more-chapter, stay-up-late suspense wrapped around a meaty and timely story ... irresistible." - Lee Child on The Night Agent "Quirk returns to the thriller scene with a thundering bang... Quirk's latest feels like he's been churning out political thrillers for decades, hitting on a timely plot that starts out fast and only speeds up as the story unfolds... [A] high-stakes, nail-biting political thriller." - TheRealBookSpy.com on The Night Agent "Lots of good, tense plotting... A real pleasure of espionage fiction is tradecraft secrets, and Quirk doesn't disappoint." - Booklist on The Night Agent "The Night Agent is a whirlwind of a book, a captivating narrative that takes us inside the White House's inner sanctum and the shadowy machinations surrounding it. A powerful and taut thriller." - Mark Greaney #1 bestselling author of Mission Critical, on The Night Agent "Strap in for one hell of a ride. The Night Agent is full of twists and surprises you'll never see coming." - Ben Coe
