PORTRAIT OF A SPY
#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva

Daniel Silva has established himself as the "gold standard" (Dallas Morning News) of thriller writers, an undisputed master of the modern espionage novel and  "a world class practitioner of spy fiction" (Washington Post) who has created "some of the most exciting fiction since Ian Fleming put down his martini and invented James Bond" (Rocky Mountain News).  Set against the backdrop of the real world, Silva's  breathtaking stories of intrigue and suspense have earned him millions of passionate fans, not only in America but around the world. And his hero, the enigmatic art restorer, spy, and assassin Gabriel Allon, has been described as "one of the most fascinating characters in the genre" (Chicago Sun-Times), a man whose "doubts and humanity raise him head and shoulders above most characters in espionage fiction" (Detroit Free Press).
Jihad is becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea... Anwar al-Awlaki

And so begins PORTRAIT OF A SPY, just ten years after the horror of 9/11, Gabriel and the writer who created him have collaborated on a masterpiece of terror and duplicity. Silva's latest novel may be fiction but it could not be timelier. A former journalist and television producer, Daniel Silva has always possessed a remarkable ability to catch history in the act. But in his new novel, Silva has managed to produce a work of uncanny prescience, as he spins an unputdownable tale of terror and courage set against the upheaval currently sweeping the Arab world. Who will be the next Osama Bin Laden? In Silva's world, Gabriel Allon takes on the new face of the global jihadist movement - an American born cleric from Yemen to whom Allah has granted a "beautiful and seductive tongue." In real life, he bears more than a passing resemblance to Anwar al-Awlaki, who is now regarded as one of the world's most dangerous terrorists, and thus Silva begins his novel.
