ReviewsThe kind of principled hero we long to believe still exists in fiction, if not in life. - The New York Times Book Review (Editor's Choice)"Remember John le Carre... when he wrote about beaten-down, morally directionless spies? In other words, when he was good? That's how Olen Steinhauer writes in this tale of a world-weary spook who can't escape the old game." - Time "Tour de Force... First-rate popular fiction... The Tourist is serious entertainment that raises interesting questions." - Washington Post "Elaborately engineered... He immerses his reader in the same kind of uncertainty that Milo faces at every turn... As for Mr. Steinhauer, the two-time Edgar Award nominee who can be legitimately mentioned alongside of John le Carr, he displays a high degree of what Mr. le Carr's characters like to call tradecraft. If he's as smart as The Tourist makes him sound, he'll bring back Milo Weaver for a curtain call." - The New York Times "Smart... He excels when the focus is on Weaver an intriguing, damaged man yearning to break free of his dark profession." - People " The Tourist should be savored." - Los Angeles Times

SynopsisIn Olen Steinhauer's explosive New York Times bestseller, Milo Weaver has tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind by giving up his job as a "tourist" for the CIA--an undercover agent with no home, no identity--and working a desk at the CIA's New York headquarters. But staying retired from the field becomes impossible when the arrest of a long-sought-after assassin sets off an investigation into one of Milo's oldest colleagues and friends. With new layers of intrigue being exposed in his old cases, he has no choice but to go back undercover and find out who's been pulling the strings once and for all. In The Tourist , Olen Steinhauer--twice nominated for the 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 most touted luminaries., In Olen Steinhauer's explosive New York Times bestseller, Milo Weaver has tried to leave his old life of secrets and lies behind by giving up his job as a tourist for the CIA--an undercover agent with no home, no identity--and working a desk at the CIA's New York headquarters.
