This author comes with a mysterious but enticing recommendation from Sam Jones: "His debut, A Week in Winter (2004), was a clever trap for your conscience. Love to see what he does next." A political thriller set in Eastern Europe, the novel is compared frequently to Nikolai Gogol's The Inspector General. "Landor's direct," Jones says, "and not superficially clever. He also shares Gogol's absurdist humor."
