Reviews
Praise for Twelve Days
"Lots of thriller writers know how to work a ticking clock, and lots more come to the genre with some experience in international politics, but few put the two together as effectively as Berenson does in this compelling, globe-trotting time bomb of a novel. Action fans will get all they came for . . . but those looking for genuine insight into the subtleties of the geopolitical chess game will be equally satisfied." --Booklist (starred review) "This well-written and fast-moving novel delivers more than a good plot. It illustrated how in the midst of regional chaos, a great power can jump to calamitous conclusions. This one is well worth the thriller enthusiast's time, which holds true for all the novels Berenson has written to date." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A fast-paced, enthralling fight to the finish . . . the sort of spy thriller that locks you in a fast and ferocious grip and won't let you go." --Associated Press "An extremely suspenseful read that fans will not forget any time soon." --Suspense Magazine
"All espionage thrillers should be this good. This is a series that you should--must--be reading." --Bookreporter.com
