"Hillhouse creates vivid images of stark violence and high emotions that amplify her strongest gift: the ability to depict an utter lack of morality both in and out of Baghdad's Green Zone. We understand why mercy and humanity are unwelcome feelings for Stone, just as we feel his sense of outrage that "none of his training had prepared him for torture at the hands of another American." For a novel with a weighty subject, "Outsourced" also benefits from Hillhouse's dark humor about turf wars and other political maneuvers. "[I]n the War on Terror, the Pentagon's the eight-hundred-pound gorilla and at best you guys at Langley are Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp," remarks one of Black's employees to a high-ranking CIA executive, summing up the power struggle between two government agencies in a single sentence."
"It is the political thriller we deserve."
--Los Angeles Times
