The Daily American

“Original, cleverly scripted, and an inherently fascinating read from start to finish, The Daily American is perfect for fans of international thrillers and CIA black ops suspense stories. The Daily American is … unreservedly recommended.” ~ The Midwest Book Review

THE DAILY AMERICAN is a rollercoaster of an atmospheric thriller, based on actual events, set in 1970s Italy that revolves around a newly transplanted American reporter who discovers that the English-language newspaper he is working for is actually a CIA front. Once he uncovers the subterfuge, our reporter then becomes entangled in a web of intrigue, espionage, and political extremism, putting his life on the line to expose the truth, showing how an ordinary individual imbued with the courage of their convictions can make a difference in the world. This thought-provoking narrative combines the intricacy of Daniel Silva’s Gabriel Allon espionage novels with the energy of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher action thrillers, while evoking the spirit of Alan Furst and Robert Harris. It is ideal for readers who enjoy international thrillers grounded in real-life political and historical resonance.
