The Unlikely Spy by Daniel Silva

"The Unlikely Spy" by Daniel Silva was a good read. It's about WWII and the Nazi attempt to get spies in place in order to learn the time and location of the D-Day invasion. Countering that is the English efforts to find the spies. This was a 1995 and must have been Silva's first. His usual hero, Gabriel Allon, is not in this book. However, Churchill is. I know something about WWII, and this seems to be true to the times and the events of which I'm aware, so it is quite well done. Perhaps, the first 100 of 700 pages are a bit slow as he works his way through character development, but he makes up for that very quickly.
