The New Girl


When I get a new Daniel Silva novel, I start with such excitement, but in too short a time when the new adventure comes to an end, the excitement is replaced by sadness. Now I have to wait for the next novel. And so it was again with The New Girl, the 19th novel in the series of Gabriel Allon stories. Although I was sure it was not possible that he could write a better story than he had before, I think Mr. Silva has achieved exactly that. This is a very current day fiction with international political figures that you will recognize. The accounts of the characterized are fictionalized, but given the research the author has done, it is all frighteningly believable. In this story, Russia’s meddling in other countries than the US is described, and their international assassinations that are well known in real life, comes to play again. England, Israel, Iran, Syria, and the U.S. have much at stake. Once again Sylva uses characters that are well known to his readers, and the story is enhanced with new ones. You don’t really need any more information to go buy this book and share in the continued evolution of Gabriel and his supporting characters. Thank you Daniel Silva, and now I await your next effort.
