SynopsisThe Unlikely Spy, Daniel Silva's extraordinary debut novel, was applauded by critics as it rocketed onto national bestseller lists. "Briskly suspenseful, tightly constructed . . . reminiscent of John le Carré's The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," said The New York Times. "Silva has clearly done his homework, mixing fact and fiction to delicious effect and building tension-with the breathtaking double and triple turns of plot-like a seasoned pro," praised People. Now Silva has outdone himself, with a taut, lightning-paced thriller rooted assuredly in fact: Switzerland's shameful WWII record of profiteering and collaboration with Nazi Germany. When art restorer and occasional Israeli agent Gabriel Allon is sent to Zurich, Switzerland, to restore the painting of a reclusive millionaire banker, he arrives to find his would-be employer murdered at the foot of his Raphael. A secret collection of priceless, illicitly gained Impressionist masterpieces is missing. Gabriel's handlers step out of the shadows to admit the truth-the collector had been silenced-and Gabriel is put back in the high-stakes spy game, battling wits with the rogue assassin he helped to train. Tense, taut, expertly crafted, and brimming with unexpected reversals, The English Assassinis Daniel Silva at his storytelling best.

top writer
Daniel Silva's books stand alone. Yet they also build upon the characters and story lines of previous books. The English Assassin is the first of a trilogy, followed by The Confessor and Death in Venice. Each of his last seventeen novels refers to earlier works. His first novel is a WWII spy thriller and the next two involve a different cast of characters. The series begins with Kill Artist. Silva is a fine a writer of this genre and anyone writing today or in the past. He is my personal favorite, although I think very highly of several others.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
