Daniel Silva is back with a new must-read book, "Ransom", and once again, he's writing tomorrow's headlines before they even happen, from Russia's shadow war on Europe to the drones nobody wants to admit are already changing everything. Gabriel Allon gets pulled out of retirement one more time, and honestly, so did I, from the first page.
Daniel Silva is the award-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-eight previous novels. His books are critically acclaimed bestsellers around the world and have been translated into more than thirty languages.
No idea how he keeps doing this, but each book is better than the last. Get yourself a copy of this brilliant new book, "Ransom: A Novel" here: amzn.to/4f2Om4c
