Pilgrim is the codename for a man who doesn't exist. He once headed up a secret espionage unit for U.S. intelligence, and before he disappeared into anonymity, he wrote the definitive book on forensic criminal investigation.

Rezension zu „I Am Pilgrim “
"Massive in many senses, but none more so than its ability to exert a vice-like grip on the reader...Destined to be spy thriller of the year" Irish Independent "Rendition yourself into a pulsating thriller that never lets up as it carries the hero and the reader on an ever more desperate race between time and an all too plausible disaster for the world we live in. Great nail-biting stuff!" Robert Goddard "The narrative is thrilling: the tension tightens with action...It's a murder mystery, an illuminating account of contemporary international politics and a study of an unusual man...An excellent thriller which as a first novel is really remarkable" Literary Review "THRILLER OF THE WEEK. Delivers thrills and spills...A full tilt mix of Homeland, The Wire and The Bourne Ultimatum" Mail on Sunday "I Am Pilgrim is a 21st century thriller: a high concept plot, but with finely drawn protagonists. The plot twists and turns like a python in a sack. Thestyle is visceral, gritty and cinematic...A satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve" -- Adam LeBor The Times
