The unlikely spy - daniel silva

Silvas stunning debut novel--a BOMC Selection that spent five weeks on the New York Times bestseller list--tells an evocative, classic tale of espionage during World War II.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silvas 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 Britains 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.

Catherine Blake is the beautiful widow of a war hero, a hospital volunteer--and a Nazi spy under direct orders from Hitler: uncover the Allied plans for D-Day.
