Never heard of him?? You are missing America's finest author then. haven't read Marching Season, but I am absolutely HOOKED to his Gabriel Allon series. It starts with The Kill Artist, and the new one, The Secret Servant came out last week. It was brilliant. Mr. Silva's prose is brilliant. His character Gabriel Allon is probably the best alpha male character written today. And because of Mr. Silva's background in journalism (CNN reporter - wife with the Today show) what you get is a genuine picture of the situations he writes about. This is a guy who does his homework - big time. I intend to go to half.com and pick up the ones that aren't Gabriel Allon. Some of them are out of print in hardcover and I prefer hardcovers in my library. My dream is to get a few of them signed, but his current book tour doesn't bring him anyplace near NY. Do you get his newsletters?? He is one of the finest authors of today. And I highly recommend them to everyone who seeks books of intelligence. Not quite as good, but also good is Steve Berry. His Cotton Malone books are very good too. Pax - C
Death in Vienna and the others you mentioned are Gabriel Allon books - if you are going to read them go back to the beginning of the series and read The English Assassin. And it doesn't surprise me at all that some people here have never heard of him. His books are way over some people's heads. (coughsandlooksbelowme)

Yup, fan of most writers. Daniel Silva is absorbing. You must also read Death in Vienna, The English Assassin, and The Messenger. In fact all his books are good. The above 3 to be read first.
Enjoy
