	The Watchmen Author: John Altman Published: August 5, 2004 by Putnam PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: When captured al-Qaeda operative Ali Zattout proves less than forthcoming with his CIA interrogators, they subject him to the manipulations of regretful psychiatrist Louis Finney, who tries everything from mellow conversation to electroshock-induced "de-patterning" and "psychic driving." Meanwhile, Zattout is being stalked by a nameless assassin, alumnus of an Asian temple cult of assassins, whose hypno-meditative regimen makes him so stealthily lethal that he is shudderingly referred to as the "ghost wind." Altman (A Gathering of Spies) excels at taut psychological confront Click for more info.

	Oszustwo Author: John Altman Published: June 22, 2003 by Amber (Sensacja) PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: In his first two well-received thrillers, A Gathering of Spies and A Game of Spies, Altman used familiar backgrounds from WWII fiction in imaginative ways.

Hannah Gray is a classic Ambler character-a woman fleeing one set of troubles and getting caught up in another. Click for more info.

	A Game of Spies Author: John Altman Published: February 18, 2002 by Putnam KIRKUS REVIEWS: A WWII spy novel good enough for a place in the le Carre tradition. It's 1942; the British are on fire to learn exactly how Hitler plans to come at France; the Nazis are just as eager to disinform them. German-born Eva Barnhardt is the pivotal agent-which is to say the spy very much in the cold-in this high-stakes game of geopolitical Ping-Pong. No ideologue Eva. Click for more info.
