EPILOGUE
Acknowledgements
Praise for the Novels of Daniel Silva
The Confessor
“Accomplished . . . elegantly written . . . a compelling piece of fiction, one that
manages to be both superior entertainment and a hard look at serious issues.”
—The Washington Post
“A shrewd, timely thriller that opens the heart of the Vatican . . . many scenes of
thumping action, passionate words, hot pursuit, and cold revenge. . . . It’s a
different kind of thrill than you might expect from a commercial thriller, but it
certainly leaves a tingle.”—Chicago Tribune
“[Silva] keeps The Confessor’s pages turning.”
—The Palm Beach Post
“Provocative historical revelations will keep readers enthralled.” —Publishers
Weekly
“Silva, who here loads new excitement into the word thriller, will touch nerves
with this hypothetical exploration of the Church’s silence on these topics. The
Vatican, Venice, and Munich are perfectly drawn as the settings for these dark
acts of ambition, greed, and revenge, as are the characters, who you’d scarcely
believe live only on the page.”—Library Journal
“Another polished and entertaining thriller from the prolific Silva . . . powered
by steady pacing, keen detail, and a strong, ironic finish.”—Kirkus Reviews
The English Assassin
“An exceptionally readable, sophisticated thriller . . . abundant action. . . . Silva
ranks . . . among the best of the younger American spy novelists.”
—The Washington Post
“[A] swift new spy novel. . . . Silva excitingly delivers his story’s twists and
turns.”—The New York Times

“Good assassin vs. bad assassin. . . . The plot is rich, multilayered, and
compelling with issues as timely as the daily headlines and problems as old as
humankind. . . . Silva maintains tension and suspense.”—The Denver Post

“Enthralling . . . a thriller that entertains as well as enlightens.” —The Orlando
Sentinel

“Breathtakingly orchestrated. Silva makes a stunning contribution to the spy
thriller.”
—Booklist (starred review)

“Thrilling . . . a good cinematic story.”
—St. Louis Post-Dispatch

“Smooth and compelling.”—Detroit Free Press
Praise for Daniel Silva and His Previous Thrillers
“[A] spy-fiction ace.”—People

“A writer who brings new life to the international thriller.”
—Newsday

“Each plot-twisting segment is marked by almost unbearable tension. . . . Silva’s
unsmiling prose urges you on like a silencer poking at the small of your back.”
—Entertainment Weekly

“A terrific thriller . . . one of the best-drawn fictional assassins since The Day of
the Jackal.”
—The San Francisco Examiner

“A master writer of espionage.”
—The Cincinnati Enquirer

“Silva . . . writes with the atmospheric grace and whiplash tension of Le
Carré.”—Booklist (starred review)

“At the forefront of his generation of foreign intrigue specialists.”—Publishers
Weekly (starred review)
