"One of our great writers of moral ambiguity, a tireless explorer of that darkly contradictory no-man’s land 'Our Kind of Traitor' brims with deftly drawn characters navigating a treacherously uncertain landscape that seems ripped from yesterday’s papers and re-created with an absolutely certain hand" (Tim Rutten, Los Angeles Times).
