Daniel Silva's remarkable first book, The Unlikely Spy, shot to the top of national bestseller charts and was praised by reviewers. With his tense, fast-paced thriller that is firmly grounded in reality—Switzerland's disgraceful history of WWII profiteering and cooperation with Nazi Germany—Silva has once again exceeded himself.
Gabriel Allon, an art restorer and part-time Israeli spy, finds his prospective employer dead at the feet of his Raphael when he travels to Zurich, Switzerland, to repair the artwork owned by a reclusive billionaire banker. There is a hidden collection of valuable Impressionist masterworks that were obtained illegally. Gabriel is returned to the high-stakes game of espionage, matching wits with the renegade assassin he assisted in training, as his handlers emerge from the shadows to reveal the truth: the collector had been silenced.
Daniel Silva is at the top of his narrative game with The English Assassin, which is tense, tight, masterfully written, and full of surprising turns.
