Title: Excellent Spy Story
Product review: I'm a fan of spy novels in general, and other reviewers are right, Daniel Silva is the heir apparent to John LeCarre. In fact - dare I say it? - I prefer Silva. Silva's writing meanders less than LeCarre's and Silva gets to the point faster without throwing style overboard. It's nice to read a spy novelist who's returned to the European theatre, and with a brooding, cultured protagonist -- which is what we get with the character Allon. The subsequent books in the Allon series are also very good, but you should start with this one if possible.
