"[Meltzer] is an architect. His structures are towering, intricate,
elegant, and surprising -- but always grounded in humanity and
logic."--Joss Whedon
"A fascinating story that blends historical facts, secret codes,
with an engrossing mystery...Meltzer is a master at writing his
mysteries as puzzles where the pieces are hints dropped throughout
the book..."--Military Press on The Fifth Assassin

Journal

storyteller who keeps all of us on the edge of our
seats."--President George H.W. Bush
"Because not since the Fletcher Knebel seminal Seven Days inMay or
James Grady's scathing Days of the Condor, has there been a
political thriller as relentlessly paced or blisteringly effective
as The Fifth Assassin. An early contender for the best thriller of
2013."--The Providence Journal on The Fifth Assassin
"Full of surprises, action, twists and turns, it is a wild and
entertaining (and yes, educational) romp, wonderful in every
way...Read The Fifth Assassin and prepare to be entranced and
enthralled."--BookReporter on The Fifth Assassin
"Highly entertaining...Meltzer and Goldberg move "The House of
Secrets" at a breakneck pace...what never wavers is Meltzer's
meticulous historical research, drawing on little known facts to
make the past come alive....An intriguing twist pulls together the
tight story of THE HOUSE OF SECRETS."--South Florida Sun
Sentinel
"Highly satisfying...a conspiracy-laden spy novel that's at its
best when it's gleefully cutting the legs out from the genre's
tropes."--Publishers Weekly
"History and suspense collide in shocking ways - and the intensity
never lets up. Beecher carries the weight of the story. He's a
great character who will resonate with readers since he's like the
fun next-door neighbor or your best friend in college....One of his
best books to date...The ending of The Fifth Assassin appears to
announce that Beecher White will return, and that cannot come fast
enough."--Washington Post on The Fifth Assassin
"Meltzer has earned the right to belly up to the bar with John
Grisham, Scott Turow, and David Baldacci. "--People
"Meltzer has mastered the art of baiting and hooking readers into a
fast-moving plot."--USA Today
"Meltzer's many fans should have a good time here, as will all
conspiracy-minded readers, even those not familiar with the
author's brand."--Booklist
"Nobody does historical speculation better than Meltzer, to the
point where the lines between fiction and fact become utterly
blurred. And that helps make THE HOUSE OF SECRETS great fun, pure
reading entertainment of the highest order."--Providence Sunday
Journal
"Ratchets up the drama and human interest, and Meltzer's fans will
enjoy the usual sprinkling of history factoids, fast-paced writing
and the double-whiplash bombshell conclusion."--Kirkus Reviews on
The Fifth Assassin
"THE HOUSE OF SECRETS packs a brilliant mystery into a hair-raising
conspiracy that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Fast
pacing, nonstop suspense, and a climactic final act make this one
of the summer's best novels...Sure to leave you questioning
everything-including the history books!"
--The Real Book Spy
"When you sit down to start reading, make sure the chair has a
comfortable cushion because you'll find yourself unable to put the
book down and get anything done. It's that good a read...As always
Meltzer's character development and believable plot is spot on.
Clearly Mr. Meltzer has done his homework. I think his attention to
detail; using true facts combined with fiction to tell his story is
what makes him a standalone author in the thriller genre and his
fans coming back for more. "--Suspense Magazine on The Fifth
Assassin
PRAISE FOR THE CULPER RING SERIES: "Clearly a history buff of the
highest order, Meltzer knows his stuff, and he's included research
from chats with none other than President George H.W.
Bush....Beecher's got the mental acumen of Robert Langdon and the
gumption of Indiana Jones, but unlike those globe-trotting types,
Meltzer's protagonist is thrown into adventures made in the USA and
acts as an awesome gateway into the deadlier aspects of American
history."--USA Today on The Fifth Assassin
