The English Spy by Daniel Silva

We are reintroduced to the character of Gabriel Allon, spy and assassin who has appeared in Mr. Silva's previous entries.

The settings for this tale of espionage are multi-faceted and include Belfast, London, a yacht, Lisbon, Jerusalem, Cornwall, Northern Ireland and Buenos Aires and they remind the reader that espinoonage and terrorism knows no boundaries.

Mr. Silva's writing is fast-paced and is reminiscent of the "Jason Bourne" movies. The action portrayed in the story is realistic and frightening.

In this story Gabriel is in search of a master bombmaker by the name of Eamon Quinn who was presumed dead in an altercation several years prior to the current setting. Quinn leads Gabriel on a twisted path through several countries before engaging in the ultimate confrontation.

Mr. Silva is an expert in spinning tales of international intrigue.  This book is no less exciting than the many other titles this prolific author has written.
