Synopsis
Catherine Blake is the model war widow. Ever since she lost her RAF pilot husband in the Battle of Britain, this beautiful aristocrat has kept a stiff upper lip while caring for victims of the blitz in London's hospitals. The problem is that Catherine Blake is also a deep-cover Nazi spy, charged by Hitler with uncovering the details of D-Day. Her nemesis is Alfred Vicary, a fumbling professor of history barely able to remember where he placed his threadbare tweed jacket, let alone sustain a relationship. But Vicary is also a confidant of Winston Churchill's, who has chosen this reclusive don to run England's critical counterintelligence operations. Against this backdrop comes Daniel Silva'sThe Unlikely Spy, a sophisticated and altogether exceptional World War II thriller. Based on fact, Silva's fast-paced novel moves effortlessly from the Berlin High Command's espionage centers to the U-boat-infested North Sea, from the privileged playgrounds of Long Island to Hyde Park's shadowy paths -- a grand canvas of intrigue that sweeps the reader along in a breathtaking race against time. If Catherine escapes to Germany, the Nazis will know the Allied invasion will be at Normandy; and if Vicary doesn't stop her, all of Britain's greatest wartime deceptions and ploys will have been for naught. But why does it seem as if Vicary's superiors want him to fail? For lovers of Jack Higgins, Frederick Forsyth, and Len Deighton,The Unlikely Spyis a masterpiece of war and deception, a wholly original and spellbinding tale of the Allies' finest hour.

    Book exactly as described 1st/1st in 'Fine' condition as is the dj. Priced well below market but seller was willing to stand by original offer. Excellent seller communication. Reasonable shipping cost. Adequate packaging but could have used protective cardboard wrap to ensure the dj integrity. Fast despatch and timely delivery. An easy, serendipitous and pleasant transaction. 5 Stars 🌟 Plus.

    one of my favorite authors

    Compelling characters that appear throughout the Gabriel Allon series, well drawn action and plots, entertaining reads. I have read and enjoyed all of Silva's books and appreciate his writing style.

    An indication of great things to come

    This is Daniel Silva's first novel. I am an avid Silva fan. He writes well and the characters come to life in this novel. I believe that once you finish this one you still want to read his 21 other novels, especially the Gabriel Allon Series as he develops Israel's great spy/ assassin . A very compelling writer only getting better over time.
