The Nearest Exit » (First Edition)

OLEN STEINHAUER’s widely acclaimed Eastern European crime series, which he was inspired to write while on a Fullbright fellowship, is a two-time Edgar Award finalist and has been shortlisted for the Anthony, the Macavity, the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger, and the Barry awards. Film rights to The Tourist have been optioned by Warner Brothers for George Clooney. Raised in Virginia, Steinhauer lives with his family in Budapest, Hungary.

Milo Weaver has nowhere to turn but back to the CIA in this brilliant follow-up to the New York Times bestselling espionage novel The Tourist.

The New York Times - Joshua Hammer

…reprises the themes of The Tourist, with even more success…Like le Carré's George Smiley, Weaver is a richly imagined creation with a scarred psyche and a complex back story that elevates him above the status of run-of-the-mill world-weary spook.
