Mr. Miller

A camera-ready thriller that follows an Amsterdam man on the run as a suspect in a co-worker's murder...This successful [Dutch] thriller is a powerful shot of Hitchcock laced with notes of Fritz Lang and Franz Kafka...Den Tex's concrete, vigorous prose charges up several action scenes, including a masterful set piece, a duel in driving rain between the protagonist, on a scooter, and someone driving a demented Audi...No surprise, then, that an adaptation of the book is on the way from Netflix. Well worth reading before it starts streaming. Kirkus Reviews

Because of the rare combination of a spotless style, the sympathy for the dangers that the protagonist faces, the suspense and, despite it all, the hero's undiminished ability to put his situation in perspective, this year's Golden Noose goes to Mr. Miller by Charles den Tex Jury Report, Goudon Strop Award

An action thriller with brains Het Parool

Clear, compelling prose. A must Vrij Nederland

An incredibly exciting, tightly written story De Volkskrant

Den Tex does not write a single line unthinkingly. His language continuously sparkles and surprises. Mr. Miller is witty, fast, exciting, adventurous, somewhat strange, and above all a stylistic masterpiece. In Den Tex there are no futuristic concepts, only espionage-like computer techniques that are possible with the current state of affairs. He creates a universe full of managers, mergers, and opaque negotiations, and with that a new genre: the corporate thriller. NRC Handelsblad

A fast-moving thriller: the pace is perfectly judged, the writing astute and perceptive, both economical and expressive Euro Crime

A real roller coaster ride Novel Heights

A singular mix of action, interaction, contemplation, and fantasy Crimezone

Charles den Tex proves that it is possible to produce exciting reading material out of computer technology Trouw

Due to the accumulating tension, the murders, the incomprehensibility of the computer world, and the extent of the conspiracy, this is a book that is hard to put down. Its more than three hundred pages fly by as if they were not there. A delightful thriller and justified winner of the Gouden Strop Thrillerweb
