I've got my eyes on this one as well -- I'm a big fan of Mortimer's nonfiction, though I didn't greatly enjoy his only other fiction book I read (the first of the Clarenceux novels that he wrote under his pen name, James Forrester). I find it interesting that he didn't publish this one under his pen name but under his real name.
I have only read a few of his books, but this one flowed really well. Some books are boring, but this one carried well and kept me engaged all the way through
