The Poet's Game is out today. The WSJ says: "Mr. Vidich’s seventh work of espionage fiction, is a fast-paced, engrossing tale of the danger, doubt and double-dealing that come with the secret life."

My new novel comes out in 12 days. "Vivid writing sets the tone: The plot delivers eye-opening twists as well as insights into the Russian psyche. Proof that we don’t need the Cold War for smart spy fiction." -- Kirkus Reviews
