Here’s my take: This is a plot-driven, fast-paced, spy thriller that seems to incorporate a lot of research and keen literary skill. I’m very glad I picked up this book, and thanks to Nedelton, I’m in the market for an occasional thriller. To recommend this book, I have to resort to a reviewer’s cliché: I couldn’t put it down.

“Reminiscent of John Le Carre with a dash of Ian Flemming, Steven Nedelton’s Dangerous Trade (Crossroads) plunges us into the Cold War mind-power experimentations and its dubious dark characters that once inhabited that volatile underworld. Written with an uncanny knack for plot and time-shifting, this 21st century thriller is in the grand tradition of Hemingway at his best. An unusually multi-layered and absorbing novel, Crossroads should be read by thriller and spy novel enthusiasts all over the globe.”
–Vincent Zandri, author of ‘As Catch Can’ and the forthcoming ‘Moonlight Falls.
A techno-thriller in the tradition of Tom Clancy, Dangerous Trade (Crossroads) combines the best of Cold War era cat-and-mouse espionage with a healthy dose of conspiracy. Author displays a masterful sense of suspense as he winds his way through the intricacies of back room political machinations. With a keen eye for detail, he leads us down the dark road of international intrigue, assassination and real world politics. Dangerous Trade is a first-rate thrill ride that will keep you tearing through the pages to reach the dramatic conclusion.
