I usually skip over Silva because it looks like (cough) dick lit, which to my experience, is long on plot, short on character. I trust your instincts, however, and may have to step out of my box. Just read FREEDOM. Loved it, but it hit waaay too close to home. A good spy novel may be just the ticket.
Thanks Irene, if you liked Robert Ludlum's books you'd like Silva also. I haven't read Freedom yet even though I've had it since it came out.
I've read one other Daniel Silva novel and really enjoyed it. Good to see that his work is consistent and captures interest.
I interned to read all of the Gabriel Allon books in order - time is my only enemy.
