"A masterful and compelling tale of evil, treachery and revenge…Goes to the top of the list of the year's best." -Rocky Mountain News "Those in the know are calling him the new John le Carré. Those who are reading him can't put him down." -Chicago Sun-Times "A masterfully constructed tale of memory and revenge. It demonstrates that thrillers can be more than entertainment." -The Miami Herald "A thriller that's not content to be just a thriller, as it delves into issues involving the Holocaust and its perpetrators and survivors." -The Kansas City Star "Haunting." -The Orlando Sentinel "Provocative and deeply satisfying." -The Miami Herald "Not one for cookie-cutter cheap thrills. Silva's mastered the art of weaving provocative narrative, espionage and foreign intrigue. His protagonists are always flawed, never invincible. His bad guys are peppered with good qualities. Seeming and being get big play. And history's dark side whether it's tackling the Israeli-Palestinian conflict or the Holocaust-is meticulously researched, emotionally charged and hauntingly sexy, straddling the fine line between reality and fantasy. Silva's gift is to pressure the reader to read on; to absorb unspeakable truths and to glimpse a James Bond-less espionage lifestyle. Life is shaken constantly, never stirred." -Chicago Sun-Times "Our premier spy novelist…a masterful and compelling tale of evil, treachery, and revenge, again showing why he's at the top of the list of thriller writers. A Death in Vienna goes to the top of the list of the year's best." -Rocky Mountain News "[A] world-class practitioner of spy fiction…Silva writes with style, economy and a sure command of the historical record…Silva is a skillful novelist who does justice to the often heartbreaking material without exploiting it." -The Washington Post Book World "Provocative and deeply satisfying…stars one of the most intriguing protagonists in the genre…A Death in Vienna isn't just a masterfully constructed tale of memory and revenge. It demonstrates that thrillers can be more then entertainment." -The Miami Herald "Unfailingly entertaining…gripping [and] significant." -The Raleigh News & Observer "A Death in Vienna completes Silva's increasingly powerful trilogy about the unfinished business of the Holocaust…The ending is haunting." -The Orlando Sentinel "Silva's writing is perfect: just enough description to be precise and an undercurrent of tension that drives the action. As always, Allon's cause is justice, regardless of the means, and we can't help but rally behind him." -Chattanooga News-Free Press "Silva keeps the pot from boiling over with cool brilliance." -Chicago Tribune "Complex, compelling international espionage in the John le Carré vein." -The News-Press (Fort Myers, FL) "Silva's intricate plot takes Allon across much of the globe, from Argentina to Poland, from Vienna to the Vatican…Silva writes with care and skill. He has a knack for local color, and Allon, his main character, is refreshingly human-world-weary, given to self-doubt and seemingly always wrestling with an inner demon of some sort." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch "An exciting and complex novel." -Library Journal "Chilling." -Kirkus Reviews "Silva writes le Carré-style spy novels in which the action, despite careening across cities and continent, retains knife-edge-sharp suspense, as one man confronts a host of ingenious enemies…Scrupulously avoiding the whiplash that comes from too much action in too many places in too short a time (an endemic condition in lesser spy novels), this finely wrought thriller reads like an exquisitely suspenseful chess game." -Booklist "Silva builds tension with breathtaking double and triple turns of plot." -People "A strong, driving pace…Its two main characters cannot be denied." -Chicago Tribune "[A] fast-moving bang-bang thriller." -Los Angeles Daily News "A thrill-a-minute surefire bestseller…[that] rips Middle East strife from the headlines." -Kirkus Reviews “Over a period of years and through an ever-improving backlist of titles, Daniel Silva has snuck into the lead as our premier spy novelist...the latest, A Death in Vienna, is the best yet. Silva has once again produced a masterful and compelling tale of evil, treachery and revenge...

Action and suspense abound, but this is serious fiction with a serious purpose. Silva keeps the pressure on the reader as well as his characters as there are important lessons to be learned and vital history to be remembered.” --Publisher's Weekly (starred review) “Nerve searing and painfully beautiful, A Death in Vienna is brilliant.” --Patricia Cornwell “This finely wrought thriller reads like an exquisitely suspenseful chess game.” --Booklist “As usual, Silva has crafted an exciting and complex novel.” --Library Journal Back to Book Info Page
