The #1 New York Times bestselling author is back with his much-anticipated 16th novel, The English Girl, which sends Silva’s recurring character, Gabriel Allon*, on another adventure.

In The English Girl, when Madeline Hart vanishes on the island of Corsica, Gabriel is thrust into a deadly game of shadows where nothing is what it seems—and where the only thing more dangerous than his enemies might be the truth.

Hart, a rising star in Britain’s governing party, is also a woman with a dark secret; she is the lover of the Prime Minister. Her kidnappers know of the affair and intend to make the British leader pay for his sins. Fearful of scandal that will destroy his career, the Prime Minister decides to handle the matter privately rather than involve the police.

Gabriel embarks on a desperate attempt to bring Hart home safely. His mission takes him from Marseilles to Provence—and, finally, to Moscow, where there is a long list of men who wish Gabriel dead.

Gabriel was also hailed by President Bill Clinton as his “favorite fictional character.”
Silva will be interviewed by Jamie Gangel, NBC Today Show National Correspondent, who also happens to be his wife. Book signing to follow
