“One of the most entertaining and thought-provoking novels of the year.”
“Steinhauer doesn’t chase current events but still somehow captures the zeitgeist. ... Another must-read from a modern master.”
“...a thought-provoking political thriller, a dark story for dark times.”
The Middleman traces the rise and fall of a domestic left-wing radical group. Told from the individual perspectives of an FBI agent, an undercover agent within the group, a convert to the terrorist organization, and a writer on the edges of the whole affair. An intimate, suspenseful exploration of the people behind the politics.

for August 2018
“Steinhauer has written an unnerving and timely thriller with incredible pivots. From a perspective on activist/terrorist civilian organizations to an examination of Big Brother conspiracy plots, there’s something for everyone to grip—with white knuckles.”
