From the NYC Times bestselling author of The Unlikely Spy, Daniel Silva, comes a taut, lightning-paced thriller rooted assuredly actually: Switzerland’s shameful World War II record of profiteering and collaboration with Nazi Germany.

When art restorer and occasional Israeli agent Gabriel Allon is delivered to Zurich, Switzerland, to restore the painting of a reclusive millionaire banker, he occurs to discover his would-be company murdered at the feet of his Raphael. A magic formula about The English Assassin collection of priceless, illicitly gained Impressionist masterpieces is normally lacking. Gabriel’s handlers come out from the shadows to acknowledge the truth-the collector have been silenced-and Gabriel is certainly put back in the high-stakes spy game, battling wits using the rogue assassin he helped to train.

The Unlikely Spy, Daniel Silva’s extraordinary debut novel, was applauded by critics as it rocketed onto national bestseller lists. ‘Briskly suspenseful, firmly constructed . similar to John le Carré’s The Spy Who Arrived in from the Cold,’ said the New York Instances. ‘Silva has obviously done his research mixing reality and fiction to delicious effect and building tension-with the breathtaking dual and triple turns of plot-like a seasoned pro,’ praised People. Now, Silva brings his significant talent to his most recent tale of risk and deception. Tense, taut, expertly crafted, and filled with unexpected reversals, The British Assassin is certainly Daniel Silva at his storytelling best.
