Daniel Silva
New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva has been hailed as one of the most prodigious spy novelists of all time. His latest release, The English Spy, is a spellbinding tale of intrigue and adventure that merges highly captivating characters, imaginative storylines and international spycraft. Following the disappearance of a renowned local island man, a mysterious outsider takes the helm as head chef on an exclusive yacht, where he serves his first prepared meal to the most iconic member of Britain’s Royal Family. When a bomb blast shakes the schooner, British intelligence turns to the legendary spy Gabriel Allon, who was first introduced to readers in Silva’s fourth book The Kill Artist, to solve the complicated mystery. What ensues is a global-trotting search for an elusive killer that takes Allon and his partner from the beautiful shores of the Caribbean to the mean streets of West Belfast. This tantalizing tale, told by one of the generation’s finest thrill writers, is filled with unexpected plot twists and heart-stopping action.
Silva is the author of 17 spy novels. He made a name for himself in 1997 with his bestselling debut The Unlikely Spy and has been entertaining readers ever since with memorable and compelling works of fiction. Silva’s books have been translated into more than 25 languages and are sold around the world. Daniel Silva will appear at the Harry & Rose Samson Family Jewish Community Center (6255 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Whitefish Bay) at 7 p.m. on Monday, July 6. Tickets to this event are $30 and include an autographed hardcover copy of The English Spy. Silva’s visit to Milwaukee is co-sponsored by Boswell Book Co.
