Review Quotes:

"Jeff Abbott is one of the finest thriller writers working today."

"Abbott has a gift for creating great character-driven thrillers."

"Count on Jeff Abbott to bring the twists. From Paris to Washington, DC, to the wilds of Texas, where a quiet town turns into a hall of funhouse mirrors, January and July is a hold-on-tight roller-coaster ride. With fresh, compelling heroes in January Holte and July Whitlock, plus a cast of deliciously two-faced townsfolk, this novel yanks the rug out from under you again and again. Nothing is as it seems, which is exactly the way I love my thrillers. An absolute blast!"

"January and July is a fantastic read: an espionage tale with grit, heart, and twists I never saw coming but were wholly earned. Jeff Abbott has long been one of my favorite writers, and he's at the top of his game here. I loved it."

"The pacing is lightning-fast, the mysteries are complex and hard to decipher, and the story begs for a sequel featuring more of their adventures."

"A master storyteller."

"Abbott is a master of misdirection."

"A true thriller master."
