The English Girl by Daniel Silva

 
 
So, I don't usually read too many series that are this long with the same characters. But Gabriel Allon and his cast of black ops spies are just too irresistible. While all series of this kind get a bit formulaic, Silva always manages to entertain me and leave me wanting just one more book.
 
The English Girl is the story of a kidnapping, a murder, some unrelenting memories, and the skilled team behind Gabriel Allon, Israeli spy, that bring them all together. Is the English girl gone for good? Has Gabriel lost? Will he ever become the chief of intelligence for  The Office? All burning questions. All revealed when you read this exciting new thriller by the master that is Silva. Enjoy!

I'm very excited about Gabriel dragging himself away from his precious art restorations :) Was listening to an interview Elaine Charles from the Book report show had with Silva (the archived version on their website - bookreportradio dotcom, and Silva admitted to 'sort of' basing his novels on real life news incidents. In this particular case I think he must be loving the whole Snowden affair - but only because it'll help his book sales. Can't wait to get the book.
