#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva’s celebrated debut novel, The Unlikely Spy, is “A ROLLER-COASTER WORLD WAR II ADVENTURE that conjures up memories of the best of Ken Follett and Frederick Forsyth” (The Orlando Sentinel).
“In wartime,” Winston Churchill wrote, “truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.” For Britain’s counterintelligence operations, this meant finding the unlikeliest agent imaginable—a history professor named Alfred Vicary, handpicked by Churchill himself to expose a highly dangerous, but unknown, traitor. The Nazis, however, have also chosen an unlikely agent.

A Movie In My Mind
Masterfully crafted writing.
Favorite.
One of my favorite books.
One of the best WWII books I’ve read
Silva’s first and best; also one of the best WWII novels I have read. It is very different from his Gabriel Allon novels (which I also like), so adjust your expectations accordingly. Excellent plot, multiple interesting characters and very well written.
